Which Backup Method Should I Use?

Are you going to back up crucial data of your PC? Are you aware of the different backup
methods? Do you know which backup method would be best for you? Before backing up
data, you must know about the different types of backup methods and which would be
suitable for you.

Generally there are two methods of backup: 

1. Complete backup: A complete backup means full backup of the entire server or
computer system. If you are backing up of an entire server, then it includes all the volumes,
directories and files. And if you are backing up your computer system, then it includes all
the drives, directories and files.

2. Partial backup: A partial backup is categorized into two parts:

 Differential backup: In a differential backup only those files are backed which
have changed or modified since the last full backup. This backup method is very
useful when you require the latest updated data. If you are using the same media for
consecutive differential backups, the files which are backed up earlier can be
overwritten by their updated versions. It may require more time to back up files and
less time to restore them.

  Incremental backup: In an incremental backup only those files are backed up
which have changed or modified as well as those which are new since the last
incremental backup. If you are using the same media for consecutive incremental
backups, the files which are backed up earlier cannot be overwritten by their
updated versions. It may require less time to back up files and may take more time
to restore them.

Now you have to decide that which backup method you should choose or suitable for you.
