3. About Cold Backup(Offline Backup)
• A cold backup, also called an offline backup, is a database
backup when the database is offline and thus not accessible for
updating.
• This is the safest way to back up because it avoids the risk of
copying data that may be in the process of being updated.
• However, a cold backup involves downtime because users
cannot use the database while it is being backed up.

Setting Storage Location
From the Storage pane, you can select
where Déjà Dup store your backups.
The USB option can back up your data to
an external drive or other local storage
device.
Putting the backup on the same drive as
the original files is a bad idea — you’ll lose
both the backup and the originals if the
drive fails.

which means that it only records the
changes from the last backup.
