NISTNIST CSFRecover FunctionEASYFree question
What is an incremental backup?
A.A backup that only stores database logs since the previous snapshot was taken on the primary volume
B.A backup that copies all files modified since the last full backup regardless of earlier increments
C.A backup that only captures data that has changed since the last backup of any type
D.A backup that only runs after hours since it compresses the entire disk image into one archive
Why C is correct
An incremental backup captures only the data that has changed since the last backup (full or incremental), reducing backup time and storage requirements compared to full backups.
