Hello,

Is it possible to recover *only* the files that were backed up in an incrmental 
backup?

Here's my situation. I have to migrate data from one machine to another, and my 
best option
may turn out to be restoring from tape.  Since I'de like to reduce my downtime, 
I would like
to try this method:
- do a full backup of old machine
- restore full backup to new machine while old machine is still in production
- take old machine out of production and do incremental
- restore only the data that was changed and is on the incremental to the new 
machine.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
Nicole
