Comprehensive backup strategies are an essential component of business continuity planning, ensuring that organizations can recover quickly and effectively from data loss events, system failures, cyberattacks, or natural disasters.
The ability to restore data and resume normal operations is critical for minimizing downtime, avoiding financial losses, maintaining customer trust, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
To develop a robust backup strategy, businesses must understand the various types of backups, best practices for implementation, and the importance of regular testing and updates.

A full backup involves copying all data from the source to the backup storage medium. This type of backup is comprehensive and ensures that a complete copy of the organization's data is available for restoration.

However, full backups are time-consuming and require substantial storage space, making them less practical for frequent backups. Full backups are often performed periodically, such as weekly or monthly, to provide a baseline for other backup types.

Incremental backups only copy data that has changed since the last backup of any type (whether full or incremental). This approach reduces the amount of data that needs to be backed up, making the process faster and requiring less storage space.

Differential backups involve copying all data that has changed since the last full backup. This method strikes a balance between full and incremental backups, as it reduces the backup size and duration while simplifying the restoration process.
