Why each option
Full and incremental backups modify the archive bit on files after they are backed up, marking them as successfully backed up.
A copy backup backs up all selected files but does not clear the archive bit, leaving it set for other backup types.
Selective backup is a general term referring to backing up specific files or folders, not a distinct backup type that defines archive bit modification.
A differential backup copies all files that have the archive bit set but does not clear the archive bit, ensuring they are included in subsequent differential backups until a full backup occurs.
An incremental backup copies all files that have the archive bit set and then clears the archive bit, indicating the files have been backed up.
A full backup, also known as a normal backup, backs up all selected files and then clears the archive bit on each file, marking them as backed up.
