What is the difference between an incremental and differential backup?
Incremental and differential backups should be performed after you have made your first full backup of the system. In order to conserve space on your backup media, you can select one of these options, which will let BackMaster know that you only want to backup files that have been changed recently. An incremental backup will only backup the files that have been changed since the last full backup, incremental backup, or differential backup. The differential backup will only backup files that have been changes since the last full backup.
