Explanation
A full backup must always be performed first when setting up a new backup system. Both differential and incremental backup strategies depend on a full backup as their baseline - differential backups capture all changes since the last full backup, and incremental backups capture changes since the last backup of any type. Without an initial full backup, neither strategy has a reference point to work from. 'Non-parity' (B) is not a standard backup type. Therefore, the very first backup on a new system must always be a full backup to establish the foundation for all future backup operations.
