Backup by definition is:<\/h2><\/div>

an extra copy of your data for a {device}<\/h2><\/div>

- Oxford Dictionary.<\/h2><\/div>[vc_single_image image=”55419″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”]

But... how the backup is restored is equally as important as the backup solution itself.<\/h2><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”125″][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dashed” border_width=”4″ accent_color=”#7a7a7a”][vc_empty_space height=”125″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″]

Full<\/h4><\/div>

A Full backup is a copy of your entire data, item by item, folder by folder. In other words, a copy of every single file in your device is created when the backup runs every time.<\/h3>\n

This sounds like what a backup should be, however, full backups require a lot of storage space and are very time consuming to create.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]
<\/i><\/div>
<\/span>

Incremental<\/h4><\/div>

Incremental backups only back up items that have changed or have been edited since the last backup.<\/h3>\n

Allowing for faster backup speeds since it doesn’t have to copy all files every time the backup runs.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]
<\/i><\/div>
<\/span>

Differential<\/h4><\/div>

Differential backups are very similar to incremental, as it also relies on having a full backup of your device and subsequently back up content that have changed over time.<\/h3>\n

The main difference is that differential maintains copies of file that have changed from the initial full backup and not from the last.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”250″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
