I have added documenation for creating differential backups to the "Backup and Restore" section of the "Administrator Guide". The steps described there are derived from documentation for the borgmatic tool and adapted to the specific case of sampledb. I'm including two sample configuration files as codeblocks. They are intended for a development setup, not production.
I have tested the steps I describe locally under wsl with sampledb 0.32. I am also successfully running a similar configuration on a production system with the same sampledb version.
I successfully compiled the documentation with the proposed changes.
