Full backup allows users to copy all selected files, directories or volumes. With full backups you need only the most recent copy of the backup file or tape to restore all of the files.
Incremental backup provides a faster method of backing up data than repeatedly running full backups. During an incremental backup only the files changed since the most recent backup are included. That is where it gets its name: each backup is an increment since the most recent backup.

The time it takes to execute the backup may be a fraction of the time it takes to perform a full backup.
