[Year 12 IT Apps] Backups - definitions

[Mark KELLY]

Full backup is clear enough.  I think we've argued about the differences
between differential and incremental in the past, but I can't remember the
result, if there was one.
With the kids, I only refer to incremental, and define it as a backup of
data that has been changed or created since the last backup.
As far as I can see, it's effectively the same thing as differential.
