difference between 5 types of backup

Hello,

Can someone explain the difference between the 5 types of  backup available in the Microsoft Windows XP backup utility.

Specifically, the types are: copy backup, daily backup, differential backup, incremental backup and normal backup.

Thank you

  • Normal backs up all files and marks each as backed up.
  • Copy backs up files but does not mark them as backed up.
  • Incremental backs up files only if they were created or modified since the last backup operation completed and marks them as backed up.
  • Differential backs up only those files created since the last backup completed, but unlike Incremental backups, a Differential backup doesn't mark the files as backed up.
  • Daily backs up only files created or modified that day (without changing files' archive bits).
  • This is where i found this Info.
