Do you guys know Windows server backup types? I have always been more familiar with Linux and know very little about Windows server backup. I need to know more information about How to back up Windows Server. I'd be grateful for any information and advice!

Hi! There are 3 most common types of backup: full backup, incremental backup and differential backup.

  • Full Backup: Full backup can create a complete copy of the complete data that exists on the computer.
  • Incremental Backup: Incremental backup only backs up files that have changed since the last full/incremental backup.
  • Differential Backup: Differential backup only backs up files that have altered since the last full backup.

For Windows Server Backup, full backup and incremental backup are the backup types it can perform. However, it is worth noting that although Windows indicates that the backup configuration of Windows Server backup includes incremental backup, most people think that its operation mode is actually more like the differential backup.

Suppose you want to know the most useful way to back up a Windows server. In that case, you can try EaseUS Todo Backup Enterprise, a professional Windows server backup software with high reliability.
