Backup is of two types:-

2. Differential Backup
3. Incremental Backup

Now we will know what is definitions of these Backups and what I want to say:

1. Full Backup: Full Backup is a type of backup where we back up all types of data like files, folders, applications, hard drives, and more it stores to your secondary storage. It has the disadvantage that It takes very much time as compared to other backups. And it takes very much storage also as compared to other backups.

2. Differential backup: Differential backup is a type of backup that is used to backup different types of data like it backups data that is created or backup since the last full backup. It takes very less time to back up as compared to Full Backup. It needs only two backup components like Full-time backup file, the Differential backup file

3. Incremental Backup: Incremental backup is a type of backup which requires only the data which has been changed since the last backup was done. It takes very much less time as compared to the other two backups. It needs only Full backup data.

       So these are the types of backup which are needed to copy any file for the future.
