Anil,
Technically the answer is "No" but it depends on the data since the last
backup.
Incremental backup means - DB2 backs up all of the data that has
changed since the last full database backup.
Delta backup means - DB2 backs up only the data that has changed since
the last successful full, incremental, or delta backup.
Thanks!

Do incremental and Delta backups take longer than a full backup ? My
understanding was that they should be done quicker than a full backup.
Are
there any scenarios in which they will take longer than a full backup ?
Any insight into this is appreciated.
Thanks
Anil
