Which of the following best describes this backup plan?
A. The log entries show one large backup followed by smaller ones that seem to capture changes, which fits monthly full with daily differentials. The size difference between the first and subsequent backups looks too big for daily full or incremental. Plus, weekly full would probably show more regular large backups, so monthly full with daily differential seems like the best fit here.
A/B? The logs show large daily backups, which rules out incremental (D). But if the full backup happens monthly, daily differentials make sense (A). Just not enough detail to totally exclude B.
The daily backups are too big for incremental, so I’d say A.
A, the daily backups seem bigger than what you’d expect from incremental ones, so they’re probably differential after a weekly full. Incremental would usually be smaller and more frequent changes.
Looks like the logs show a full backup once a week and smaller backups every day after. So I’m leaning towards D—weekly full, daily incremental. The daily backups aren’t full, just changes since the last backup. Anyone else see it differently?
