A company is implementing a new data protection policy and requires all critical data to be saved daily. They have designated an incremental backup strategy which captures only the changes made since the last backup.
Which of the following describes the benefit of using this type of backup?
It requires a full backup to be taken every week.
It significantly reduces backup time and storage requirements.
It provides a complete copy of all data at every backup instance.
It is useful for backing up data that rarely changes.
An incremental backup saves only the data that has changed since the last backup, requiring less storage space and reducing the time needed to complete the backup process. This approach also allows for quicker recovery times, as only the last full backup and the subsequent incremental backups need to be restored.
