Backups are an important safety net in case your primary storage fails or, in the case of cloud storage, becomes inaccessible. Please define each of the following backup types: full backup, differential backup, and incremental backup.

What will be an ideal response?


- A backup made by copying the entire contents of a hard disk to a backup device is called a full backup. Full backups require lots of time and disk space. Alternatives to full backups include differential and incremental backups.
- A differential backup makes a backup of only those files that were added or changed since the last full backup session. After making a full backup of important files, differential backups are scheduled at regular intervals. To restore all the files after a hard disk crash, files are first restored from a full backup, and then files are restored from the latest differential backup.
- An incremental backup backs up files that were added or changed since the last backup-not necessarily the files that changed from the last full backup, but the files that changed since any full or incremental backup.
