Full Backup, Differential Backup and Incremental Backup

What is the difference between a full image, a differential image and an incremental image?

The ShadowProtect line of Real-Time Recovery solutions offer you three ways to backup your systems and data: full images, differential images and incremental images.  How you choose to manage your backup images will depend on your needs and your resources.

Full backup: ShadowProtect takes a complete point-in-time backup image of all your systems and data.

Differential backups: ShadowProtect takes a point-in-time backup of only the system and data changes made since your last full backup.

Incremental backups: ShadowProtect takes a point-in-time backup of only the system and data changes made since your last incremental (or full) backup.

Full backups can be used independently and do not require any additional files to completely recover your systems and data. However, full backups require more disk space and more time to complete.

Differential backups have only the data and system files that have changed since the last full backup. Differential files are smaller, however they can only be used in conjunction with full backup files. They require less disk space and less time to complete.

Incremental backups include only the data and system files that have changed since the last incremental backup – or full backup, if it is the first incremental backup. Incremental backups are very fast and require very little disk space. However, they must be made in conjunction with a full backup and data recovery requires you to recover all incremental files in an image set. An image set is all of the image files needed to complete recovery of systems and data.
