Performing a baseline restore
You can perform a baseline restore if you want to restore the entire data set that has been backed up. You must follow a workflow to perform a baseline restore of data on a volume from tape.
Performing an incremental restore
Incremental restores build on each other the way incremental backups build on the baseline backup. Therefore, to restore an incremental backup, you need all the backup tapes from the baseline backup through the last incremental backup that you want to restore.
