Which is faster to back up and why?
A
Full Backup
B
Incremental Backup
C
More files will need to be backed up
D
Less files need to backed up as only those that have changed since last time need to be backed up.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As we’ve said, incremental backup is often quicker and takes less space in storage. Businesses that wish to optimize storage space and don’t add vast volumes of changed data to storage since the last backup will benefit more from incremental backups.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following backup methods is quickest and requires the least amount of backup space? Explanation: Incremental backups take less time and space than differential and complete backups.

Detailed explanation-4: -Incremental Backup Only the recent changes (increments) are backed up, consuming less storage space and resulting in a speedy backup. However, the recovery time is longer since more backup files will need to be accessed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Incremental Data Backup and Recovery In an incremental data backup process, the only data that is required for backup is the data that has been changed since the last full backup, and that is the data that is stored separately in each device. This helps in faster data backup compared to a full backup.
