     - For TiDB, you can set the value of [`tidb_snapshot`](/read-historical-data.md#how-tidb-reads-data-from-history-versions) to specify the time point of the data backup. This ensures the consistency of the backup, instead of using `FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK` to ensure the consistency.

+    To ensure that newly written data is not deleted during incremental migration, you should disable GC for the upstream cluster before exporting full data. In this way, history data is not deleted. For TiDB v4.0.0 and later versions, Dumpling might [automatically adjust the GC safe point to block GC](/dumpling-overview.md#manually-set-the-tidb-gc-time). Nevertheless, manually disabling GC is still necessary because the GC process might begin after Dumpling exits, leading to the failure of incremental changes migration.
 
     Run the following command to disable GC:
