Here are the differences between the types of backup.
Comparative table
| Copy method | Space | Speed copy |
Restoration | Situation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Complete | Maximum | Very slow | Very Simple | Few data to store |
| Complete + differential | Medium | Slow | Simple | Data with speed moderate changes |
| Full + Incremental | Minimum | Fast | Complex | Many data with constant changes. |
As we have explained above, the backup is faster restore but time-consuming to perform and plenty of reseravado for that task.
The complete copy along with the differential backup is faster to copy complete but requires less space than the previous.
Unlike the previous two Incremental backup, does not require both space and the full backup or differential backup and copy speed is the fastest, but however its restoration is complex to perform.
