Your employer is looking at backup strategies. They want to use a strategy that reduces data restoration time but doesn’t require a full backup of data during each backup. Which data backup strategy should they use?
Correct Incorrect Unanswered
Answer Description
Differential backups are a type of back up strategy where only data that has changed since the last full backup is saved. This strategy has a faster restoration time compared to incremental backups due to only 2 backups being needed to restore all data.
Wikipedia
A differential backup is a type of data backup that preserves data, saving only the difference in the data since the last full backup. The rationale in this is that, since changes to data are generally few compared to the entire amount of data in the data repository, the amount of time required to complete the backup will be smaller than if a full backup was performed every time that the organization or data owner wishes to back up changes since the last full backup. Another advantage, at least as compared to the incremental backup method of data backup, is that at data restoration time, at most two backup media are ever needed to restore all the data. This simplifies data restores as well as increases the likelihood of shortening data restoration time.
