Which method of backup is quicker to perform once an initial backup file is created?
A
Full
B
Differential
C
Fragmented
D
Incremental
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Differential Backup 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-3: -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-4: -In general, differential backups take more time than incremental ones to complete. However, when it comes to recovering backup files, the tides change-differential restores are faster than incremental ones, as you need fewer data pieces to complete the recovery process.

Detailed explanation-5: -If you do an incremental backup on Tuesday, you only back up the data that changed since the incremental backup on Monday. The result is a much smaller, faster backup. The characteristic of incremental backups is the shorter the time interval between backups, the less data to be backed up.
