Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of backup utility takes more storage space, but is faster to restore from?
A
Full backup
B
Incremental backup
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To put it simply, a full backup is done initially, and then subsequent backups are run to include all the changes made to the files and folders. It lets you restore data faster than full backup since it requires only two backup components: an initial full backup and the latest differential backup.

Detailed explanation-2: -Full Backup But it’s also the quickest to restore from because all the files you need are contained in the same backup set. Full backups on a regular schedule require the most storage out of each method.

Detailed explanation-3: -As shown above, performing a full backup daily requires the most amount of space, and will also take the most amount of time. However, more total copies of data are available, and fewer pieces of media are required to perform a restore operation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mirror backups All the different backed up files are stored separately like they are in the source. One of the benefits of mirror backup is a fast data recovery time. It’s also easy to access individual backed up files. One of the main drawbacks, though, is the amount of storage space required.

Detailed explanation-5: -Incremental backups are the most space-efficient form of backup.
