Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -File Backup Software Uses Far Less Space. Imagine you’re going to copy and paste a whole hard drive. If that drive is 512 GB, you’re going to need 512 GB of storage space. That’s just for a single point-in-time copy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Backup software handles processes such as data deduplication that reduce the amount of physical space required to store data. Backup software also enforces policies that govern how often specific data is backed up, how many copies are made and where backups are stored.

Detailed explanation-3: -A file backup occurs when you store copies of your critical system and personal files on a hard drive or auxiliary storage device, such as an external backup or flash drive. Creating backups is a critical step in computer maintenance to protect your data in the event of system failure or file corruption.

Detailed explanation-4: -File backup is a duplicate copy of your data that can be used to recover your files or even an entire hard drive after a data loss event. A cloud backup is the same as your file backup, only stored online in a network of offsite servers operated by a cloud storage provider.
