A full back up takes a snapshot of all the data on the selected folders,
partitions or hard disks at the time the backup is performed, and saves it to
an Image file. A full backup is always the basis of any incremental and
differential backup. A Full Backup can be used to restore all the files and
folders in its image, to the state when the image was created.
An Incremental backup takes a snapshot only of the changed and newly added
files based on the previous related backup, be it a full or incremental backup.
Data that have not changed will not be backed up. A Full Backup must exist as
the start point of a series of incremental backups. A typical set would be, in
time sequence:
Full Backup, as basis
Incremental Backup 1
Incremental Backup 2
?..
Incremental Backup n
All the image files of incremental backup series share a sequential
relationship.
All data can be recovered to the state when any Incremental Backup was done, by
recovering the parent Full Backup, followed in turn by each Incremental Backup
in between.
If any one of the incremental image files in the sequence is damaged or
missing, subsequent image files will be invalid.
"Full Backup + regular Incremental Backup" is the most commonly-used backup
scenario.you wanna to make a schedule backup or incremental backup, whatever,
you can do them at the same time by using Windows snap-in function or other
software(I use AOMEI Backupper).
