A company is considering a forever incremental backup strategy for a large database. The primary goals are to minimize backup storage and nightly backup time. However, the restore time objective (RTO) is strict. What is the main trade-off the company must evaluate?

Backup storage will increase over time because incrementals are cumulative

The initial full backup is not required, so backup time is minimized

Nightly backup time will increase because each incremental is larger than the previous

Restore time may increase because many incremental backups must be applied

What is a defining characteristic of a full backup?

It copies only data that has changed since the last backup of any type.

It copies data from the previous full backup and subsequent incrementals without reading the source.

It copies all selected data and serves as a baseline for other backup types.

It copies only data that has changed since the last full backup.

An organization wants to minimize the amount of data transferred to backup storage each night while keeping the initial backup effort low. They are willing to accept that a restore might require applying many incremental backups. Which backup strategy best fits these requirements?

Weekly full with daily differential

How does a differential backup compare to an incremental backup in terms of restore time?

Differential backups require less restore time because you only need the last full backup and the latest differential.

Differential backups require more restore time because they store less data.

Differential backups require more restore time because you need the full backup and all incrementals.

Differential backups require the same restore time as incremental backups.
