Incremental backup: A backup strategy that involves creating backups of only the data that has changed since the last backup. This can save time and storage space, as only the changes need to be backed up rather than the entire system. An example of incremental backup might be a system that creates daily backups of only the files that have been modified since the previous day’s backup.
