What is an incremental backup?..

Answer / arun

Incremental backup stores all files changed since the last
FULL, DIFFERENTIAL OR INCREMENTAL backup. The advantage of
an incremental backup is that it takes the least time to
complete. During a restore operation, each incremental
backup is processed, which could result in a lengthy restore
job.It need not be a daily backup.
