Why each option
Full and Incremental backup types interact with the archive bit, marking files as backed up by resetting their archive bit.
A Full backup copies all selected data and then resets the archive bit on each file, indicating that the file has been backed up.
Compressed is a characteristic of how data is stored, not a backup type that interacts with the archive bit.
A Copy backup copies all selected files but does not reset the archive bit, leaving it unchanged.
A Differential backup copies all files that have changed since the last full backup, but it does not reset the archive bit, allowing subsequent differential backups to continue including the same changed files.
An Incremental backup copies only the files that have changed since the last full or incremental backup (identified by the archive bit) and then resets the archive bit on those files.
