Information Security Controls and Policies

The company has put a backup plan in place. James, the company’s network administrator, takes a full backup of the data whenever a backup is initiated. Alex, a senior security manager, discusses using a differential backup with James and asks him to implement it after a full data backup is complete.

What reason(s) does Alex have for recommending that James use a differential backup?

Choose two
  • A Faster than a full backup
  • B Less expensive than full backup
  • C Slower than a full backup
  • D More storage space than a full backup
Explanation

A differential backup stores only the data changed since the most recent full backup. It can therefore be created faster than a full backup and typically requires less storage, reducing backup costs.
