   A backup administrator wants to reduce the load on a production file server during backup windows. The current strategy is a weekly full backup and daily incremental backups.

   • ASwitch to a forever incremental strategy without any full backups
   • BCreate a synthetic full backup from the last full and subsequent incrementals
   • CRun a differential backup instead of incremental backups
   • DRun a full backup more frequently, such as every night
