Differential Backup:?

• A differential backup includes all the changes made since the last full backup.

It does not depend on other differential backups.

• Advantages: Smaller than a full backup, and quicker to take compared to full

backups.

• Disadvantages: Can become larger over time as more changes accumulate

between full backups.

• Example: If the last full backup was taken on Monday, a differential backup

taken on Wednesday would include all changes since Monday.
