Types of backup methods

Full Backups

Full backup is the starting point for all other backups, and contains all the data in the folders and files that are selected to be backed up. Because full backup stores all files and folders, frequent full backups result in faster and simpler restore operations. Remember that when you choose other backup types, restore jobs may take longer.

• This approach is good when the project includes 
• not so large amounts of data.

Incremental Backups

An incremental backup stores all files that have changed since the last backup. The advantage of anincremental backup is that it takes the least time to complete. However, during a restore operation, eachincremental backup must be processed, which could result in a lengthy restore job.

• This approach is good when the project includes too
•  many files to back up them all each time. 
• It's fast and takes less time for incremental backups. 
• Incremental backups take less disk space.
•  It allows you to create backups frequently. 

Differential Backups

A differential backup contains all files that have changed since the Previous full backup. The advantage of adifferential backup is that it shortens restore time compared to an incremental backup. However, if you perform the differential backup too many times, the size of the differential backup might grow to be larger than the baseline full backup.

• Is intermediate between the first two approaches.
•  It is also good when the conditions are intermediate.
• Each differential backup includes all the project files.
•  changed since the last full backup.
•  It takes less time and space than "Always Full", 
• but more than "Full+Incremental". 

Mirror Backups

Mirror backup includes all files that have changed since the last normal (full) or mirror backup, missing files are also be deleted from the backup set. The resulting backup archive consists of either one compressed file or one folder.

BACKUP FILES

This means saving backups to a second internal hard disk installed on our computer or to an external hard disk connected by a USB cable. This option is more expensive than using a CD or DVD, but a hard disk can store many more files.

TYPES BACKUP FILES :

•          Local Backups

It’s important to create local backups to an external drive or another PC for speed of restoring files should something bad happens, and also because this is going to be the quickest way to create backups.

•         Online Backups

There are a number of paid online backup services like Mozy, Carbonite, Spideroak, and Jungledisk, and there are also some file sync services like Dropbox and SugarSync that provide backup type of capability. These are all excellent secondary backup services, but probably shouldn’t replace a regular backup just because they will take a long time to restore.

• System Image Backups

Rather than simply backing up files, you can create a complete backup of your system that can be restored over top of your system. The only problem with creating these types of backups is that they require a real lot of drive space. The best bet is to create an image when your system is up and running and everything is installed, and then you can use it to more easily restore everything rather than reinstalling everything manually.

What Files Should You Backup?

Example of file that you should backup.

If you look within the AppData folders, you’ll see directories for each and every application you’re running. These settings can often be restored from a backup so you don’t have to tweak everything again.

What file you should not backup?

Some several reasons why this file cannot backup: 

•     Windows: There’s almost never a reason to backup your Windows directory, as you’re going to have to reinstall the whole thing anyway, so this backup will likely do you no good.

•     Program Files: You’re going to have to reinstall your applications if your computer dies and you have to reinstall.

When you should backup your file ?

• The best bet is to backup your files on a fairly regular basis–daily if possible. If you’re using an online backup solution, they are often configured to immediately start syncing any changed files when your PC is idle for a little while. This can be a great way to keep your files safe without having to wait for the next backup
