There are several types of data backups, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
Full Backup: A complete copy of all data. It is thorough but can be time-consuming and requires substantial storage space. Incremental Backup: Backs up only the data that has changed since the last backup. It is faster and uses less storage but requires multiple backups for a full restore. Differential Backup: Backs up data changed since the last full backup. It balances speed and storage requirements.
