Fix backup documentation to be more accurate with respect to named checkpoints

    • Type: Icon: Documentation Documentation
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Priority: Icon: Major - P3 Major - P3
    • WT11.0.0, 6.1.0-rc0
    • Affects Version/s: None
    • Component/s: None

      Our backup documentation says:

      In cases where the backup is desired for a checkpoint other than the most recent, applications can discard all checkpoints subsequent to the checkpoint they want using the WT_SESSION::checkpoint method with drop parameter.

      That is specific to using named checkpoints, and relies on checkpoints being taken at a specific point in time (not the current approximate checkpoints which rely on content being made durable in the history store).
