Creating backup is a must if you want to save your data. Backup is an act of copying virtual, physical files or databases to some other removable disk drives or to other sites. For protecting your data the best option is backup. There are different methods to take backup:
Full backup: In this type of backup, all the data is copied to another device commonly known as removable disk drives like USB, hard disk etc. Its disadvantage is that it takes a long time to complete the backup as the name suggests.
Incremental backups:In this type of backup only those data are copied which has changed since the last backup
Differential backups: It is similar to the incremental backup for its first-time use and afterward it will copy all the changed data since the last full backup. In this way, it copies more data than incremental but less than a full backup.
