Explanation

Running backups after peak hours minimizes performance impact on users during the workday, since backups consume disk I/O and network bandwidth. Using the built-in OS backup utility (e.g., Windows Backup, macOS Time Machine) eliminates the need for additional licensing costs. Running backups at login (A) would slow down user experience. Third-party licensed software (C) adds cost. Hourly backups (E) would frequently impact performance throughout the day. An external storage device (F) adds hardware cost. Together, B and D achieve the goal of minimal expense and minimal user disruption.
