Backup Method

Full

Copy the entire Partition/Disk contents.

 Simplest and safest method of backup. Can be run independently of other backups at any time.  Requires the most storage space and takes longest to complete.

Incremental

Copy only Partition/Disk sectors that have changed since the last backup.

Requires a previous backup to be present on a locally attached drive. Greatly reduces backup time and reduces backup image size. When restoring from incremental backup, you need the most recent full backup as well as EVERY incremental backup you've made since the last full backup.

Differential

Copy only Partition/Disk sectors that have changed since the last full backup.

Requires a previous backup to be present on a locally attached drive. Restoring a differential backup is a faster process than restoring an incremental backup because only two backup container files are needed: the latest full backup and the latest differential.
