Key concepts
Concept 1
Importance of backups and redundancy
Importance of backups and redundancy. Regular data backups protect against data loss from accidental deletion, hardware failure, malware, or disasters. Backup Types: - Full Backup: Backup of all selected data. Easiest to restore. Takes longest, uses most storage. - Incremental Backup: Only data changed since last backup of any type. Fast backups, efficient storage. Slower restore (need full + all incrementals). - Differential Backup: Everything changed since last full backup. Grows larger each day. Restore needs only full + latest differential. Backup Schedules: Common: weekly full + daily incrementals. Grandfather-Father-Son rotation keeps multiple generations. On-site vs Off-site: - On-site: Same location as data. Quick access.
