Explanation

The incremental backup method is the fastest on a daily basis because it only backs up data that has changed since the last backup (whether full or incremental). This means far less data is copied each day compared to other methods. A full backup copies everything every time (slowest). A differential backup copies all changes since the last full backup, growing larger each day. 'Fast backup' is not a recognized backup type.
