This type of back-up is slowest to restore from? (7-9)
A
Full
B
Fragmented
C
Incremental
D
Differential
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Full Backup This includes files, folders, SaaS applications, hard drives and more. The highlight of a full backup is the minimal time it requires to restore data. However, since as everything is backed up in one go, it takes longer to backup compared to other types of backup.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Incremental backup type includes all new and modified files since the last full, differential or incremental. It is the smallest backup type. When you need to restore an incremental backup, it will take longer as all backup versions since the last full to the latest incremental will be restored.

Detailed explanation-3: -Incremental backups take the least space and time to perform than differential and full backups, but it’s the most time-consuming out of all of the methods to restore a full system.

Detailed explanation-4: -The benefit of an incremental backup is that it copies a smaller amount of data than a full. Thus, these operations will have a faster backup speed, and require less media to store the backup.
