Which backup type reduces tape utilization?
A.
Full backups.
B.
Incremental backups.
C.
Both of the above.
D.
None of the above.
Explanation:
While full backups are used to back up all business data and applications that have been identified for backing up, incremental backups are performed to back up data that have changed since the last backup was performed. Being smaller than full backups, incremental backups tend to reduce tape utilization and it also saves time.
