A technician needs to create a full backup of a server. To minimize the impact on the production network and the server itself, they want to create this full backup by combining an existing full backup with all the subsequent incremental backups. Which backup type achieves this?
A synthetic backup creates a new full backup file by consolidating the last full backup with any subsequent incremental or differential backups. This process is handled by the backup server, which synthesizes the new full backup from the existing data in the backup repository. This avoids reading all the data from the source client again, which reduces network load and the performance impact on the production system.
