Hi all,
I am trying to take a backup of a remote database and restore into
our local one. This backup should be done in such a way that we use minimal data transfer when backing up. Possibly take a full backup once and then just incorporate the changes since the last backup.
Is it possible? How to do this?

You can do that with a full backup + differential OR full backup + the incrementals (tlog backups).
