Explanation

A full backup (E) copies all selected data in its entirety every time it runs, completely independent of any previous backup. It does not check the archive bit or compare to prior jobs. An incremental backup (A) captures only data that has changed since the last backup of any type (full or incremental). A differential backup (B) captures all changes since the last full backup. An archive (C) is a general term for stored data, not a specific backup strategy. A snapshot (D) captures the state of a system at a point in time but is typically used for quick recovery and not a standalone backup strategy; it also relies on existing data blocks and is not fully independent.
