[Vera Cook]

I agree with you Mark although I always defined the difference in that incremental uses two backup media

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.

Hi all,

Just wanting some clarification re: Backup definitions. Specifically Full, Differential and Incremental.  Is there a VCAA approved definition? Would appreciate any input before the exams.
Thanks
Simone
