AOMEI Backupper Standard, Disk Backup vs Full Backup
Sorry if this has already been asked but I can't find anything to explain my question.
I have made a Disk Backup and 5 subsequent Incremental Backups. No problem.
I now want to make a fresh full backup to then add Incremental Backups to it. Should I do another Disk Backup or go to an existing Disk Backup in Home > Disk Backup(#) > and select Full Backup? I have tried both and find that the Full Bakup adds another file to the Incremental Backups list, which is larger than the other Incrementals but a lot smaller than a Disk Backup.
In other words what is the differnce between a Disk Backup and a Full Backup on an existing backup?
Comments
You can run a full backup based on the existing Disk Backup task: Home > Disk Backup(#) > and select Full Backup.
Disk Backup: backup all partitions on the disk.
Partition Backup: backup the selected partition.
File Backup: backup selected files/folders.
All backup types can supports Full, Incremental, and Differential backup way.
The full backup will back up all data. The first backup must be a full backup.
The Incremental backup will back up changed data based on the last backup (full or incremental).
The Differential backup will back up changed data based on the last full backup.
