Explanation
Incremental backups only capture data that has changed since the last backup of any type (full or incremental), making them the most storage-efficient option to complement daily full backups. Differential backups (D) save everything changed since the last full backup, which grows larger each day and uses more space than incremental. Transaction log backups (A) are database-specific and not applicable to general desktop data. Synthetic full backups (C) consolidate existing backups into a new full backup but do not solve the storage space concern.
