Which of the following backup methods restores the system faster, but takes more time and space to perform the actual backups?
  1. Selective backup
  2. Differential backup
  3. Incremental backup
  4. Full backup
Explanation
Answer - B - The differential backup method restores the system faster, but takes more time and space to perform the actual backups.

Key Takeaway: Differential backup contains all files that have changed since the last full backup. The advantage of a differential backup is that it shortens restore time compared to a full backup or an incremental backup. However, if you perform the differential backup too many times, the size of the differential backup might grow larger than the baseline full backup.
