468- When creating a differential backup, the parent is always the most recent (non-empty) backup in the directory.
469- In some cases the directory may have two equally recent backups -- a full backup and a differential one.
470- By default, the full backup is chosen as the parent.
471- But you can use the differential backup as the parent by setting the option `--prefer-diff-as-parent` to `True`.
468+ When creating a differential backup, the parent is usually the most recent (non-empty) backup in the directory.
469+ In some cases you may prefer to use the latest differential backup as the parent, even if there is a more recent full backup.
470+ You can use the latest differential backup as the parent by setting the option `--prefer-diff-as-parent` to `True`.
471+ This can be used to ensure you have differential backups for all transactions, which would allow you to restore to any point in time.
472+ Otherwise, the transactions between a full backup and the previous differential backup will not be backed up as individual transactions.
