A company has deployed a large tie share, and expects 100 GB of new or changed data each day. The company would like to backup all objects in the file share and restore the share as quickly as possibl

Incremental backups only capture daily changes, requiring the original full backup plus every incremental in sequence to restore, which significantly slows recovery time.

A synthetic full backup merges a previous full backup with subsequent incremental backups into a new full backup on the backup server itself, without impacting production systems. This gives the company a single, self-contained restore point that enables the fastest restore time since there is no need to apply multiple backup sets, while also efficiently handling the 100 GB of daily changes by incorporating them incrementally.

Differential backups capture all changes since the last full backup and grow larger each day, requiring both the full backup and the latest differential to restore - slower than a synthetic full.

Running a full backup daily would require reading and transferring the entire file share each day, creating excessive backup windows and storage consumption for a large share.
