incremental and differential backup

INCREMENTAL BACKUP


  • performing an incremental backup ( as opposed to a full backup every time ) is critical to the efficient  , continued operation of a Linux desktop system or a Linux server.
  • it is important to institute a policy of regular backups , preferably with the backed-up data removed to a remote location for storage.


DIFFERENTIAL BACKUP

  • a differential backup saves any changes made since the last full backup of your system.
  • this method works faster than a full backup since it saves only files that have changed since your last full backup.
