Incremental<br />

Incremental<br />

Incremental backup backup backup backup will only back up those files which have been changed since the last<br />

backup (the "last backup" can be a full backup, incremental backup or differential backup).<br />

It is most useful when you need frequent backups and the ability to roll back to a specific<br />

point in time. Incremental backup images are considerably smaller than full or differential<br />

images.<br />

Differential<br />

Differential<br />

Differential<br />

Differential backup backup backup backup is also a "clear" backup method which saves time and disk space by<br />

only backing up changed files. But unlike incremental backup, this method only relates to<br />

the last full backup.<br />

Incremental & Differential image will inherit all the parameters and options from the base<br />

backup task.<br />

<strong>Backup</strong> policy policy<br />

If you don’t understand the difference among the 3 backup methods, you might fail to<br />

create an appropriate plan which fits your needs. Before you decide which backup method<br />

to use, we believe you need to know more about each of the backup methods.<br />

Full - Backs up all files that match your selection. A full backup forms a base for all<br />

subsequent incremental or differential backups. It always generates the biggest<br />

image files.<br />

Incremental - This method will only back up the changed files since the last backup, no<br />

matter what kind of the last backup is. The incremental plan is just like a<br />

chain and every incremental backup is a necessary link in it. If one of the<br />

incremental images in the chain is damaged, all of the following images<br />

based on it will be unavailable. Backing up changed files based on the last<br />

backup will have the smallest image file size.<br />

Differential – Backs up only the changed files since the latest or the specified full image.
