What is a differential backup?

Rating:

A differential backup is one in which every such file on a file system is backed up that has changed since the last full backup. A differential backup is not as fast as an incremental backup, but is faster than a full backup.

NOTE: In a production environment, a differential backup should be performed on a daily basis.
