Explanation
A full backup captures all data, files, and configurations in their entirety. It must be performed first because differential and incremental backups depend on a full backup as their baseline - differential backups capture changes since the last full backup, and incremental backups capture changes since the last backup of any type. On week one, no baseline exists, so a full backup is the only valid starting point. Snapshot is a valid technology but typically refers to storage-level point-in-time copies rather than a scheduled backup methodology in this context. After the full backup is established, subsequent weekly backups can use differential or incremental methods.
