It is important to note that Full Backup and Incremental Backup both Clear the Archive bit. Differential Backup does not clear the Archive bit. This is important to know in relation to Security+ exam.
Thank you, you explained something in 7 minutes what most of the university teachers are unable in hours. You are doing a great job. Very very thank you
I just LOVE how you explain everything with simple visuals and without too much detail that will make the video unnecessarily long, they're perfectly balanced. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
I stumbled upon this channel a few days ago, and I agree 100%. Very concise and thorough explanations with zero fluff. A seriously underrated channel IMO.
Many videos on the Internet contain lengthy, technical explanations without simplifying the main points. And sometimes there is a smart aleck presenter trying to act "all that", offering useless ostentation which distracts me from the information I am trying to collect. These videos are simply the best. Thank you!
Excellent breakdown! MSPs thrive on having the right tools. Our go-to lineup features robust backup solutions and a solid BDR approach, cutting-edge security, a reliable RMM, and Thirdlane Multi Tenant PBX for communications. This toolkit has been key to delivering top-notch service to our clients.
Watched a load of videos on this and all of them are making this so much more difficult than it needed to be and missing out essential bits of information, thanks for this, all went in 1st time.
The way these topics are explained are so simple and straight to the point. The animation helps so much. Currently working on my revision for Comptias server+ course and if it wasn't for this channel and these videos i'd literally be lost lol.
OP really has such a knack for explaining a concept in a way that pierces through any veil of obfuscation. It's akin to a song that hits a nerve in the right way for a particular mood, but the nerve in this case is the one that leads directly to the "Oh!" sector of understanding for a given topic or idea
wow the way other sources explained this was confusing as hell!!!!! I did not under stand the difference between Incremental and Differential until now. As always great explination and visuals. Thanks!
Best tutorial on back ups so far !I have watched so many videos and still couldn't understand the difference! Thank you so much sir! Made it so simple!
I am a follower of your channel long time ago, your videos are increíbles, easy to understand very visuals, about this topic of backups, my advice is it’s possible to create one video explaining retention backup, a lot of people turn complicated to understand that! With your incredible videos I am sure the problem will be solved, greeting
The best explanation of a topic that causes so much confusion! I’ve taken screenshots and notes thank you so much for doing this what a great channel with so many videos
Please note that some backup systems (such as restic) do not do any of the above, because they are typically uses on media that is not a linear read/write. such as S3 buckets or hard drives.
Thank you for this great video explanation, it really helped me grasp and understand the different backup strategies and especially with the animations and the summary at the end, GREAT JOB!!
Excellent explanation. Your method of instruction is superb. The difference between "incremental" and "differential" is so subtle that your animation can show the distinction clearly. Well done. Liked and subscribed.
Nice tutorial easy and simple to understand visually. however during incremental backup animation that starts at 2:31 onwards the weekday backup shouldn't carry on the day before's backup.. like for Wednesday it should have only shown yellow data rather then green+yellow.
Exactly, I'm surprised no else noticed or commented on it. Based on his illustrations, incremental should take the same amount of time as the differential. It shows the incremental copying the previous day's backup for every day of the week just as the differential did.
If you watch it again you'll see the backup is represented by the tape icons. The animation here is not the same. The cylinders below show the cumulative data that has changed since the last full backup, not what's being backed up.
this chanel is the f*cking greatest! Thank you so much for putting the time to make all these animations and picking the right words to express what's going on the screen. All this makes your content very understandable and has assisted me many times. Thanks again for the effort and dedication
well done, and using the 'tape drives' is excellent way to demonstrate backups(bups). ( except the young'uns may need to google tapedrives/history..) 1. for the average person (with a PC/laptop with 500GB internal storage) , you simply need to buy a 2TB or 5TB external usb drive. 2. if you make alot of important updates to your PC, then make 1 Full bup each day ( but KEEP a known 'good' copy) Else 'schedule' a differential bup , using your bup program 3. they only time you will ever care about bups is when you need to get your data/system back. SIMPLE is BEST.
Very cool animations and very clear explanation. Just one notice: backups are not only for disasters/hardware failure but also used for user errors when a user deletes something and we have to recover it. And if this happens maybe the file to be restored is stored on a specific "day's" incremental backup, you only need to open that specific and one incremental backup tape so opposing your explanation, in this case there is no need to restore all incrementals but only that specific one is needed to be opened where the deleted file backup is. When there is a disaster of corse you have to restore the full and the following incrementals but if a deleted document is to be recovered then only a single incremental backup is needed maybe. What do you guys think, it this correct?
I had to back up this lesson a few times to fully understand. My old lady backed me up on this decision to back up to the part we could not comprehend. She got my back and I got hers. K. now back to this tutorial.
Thank you for your explanation. I was always wrong thinking that incremental is the same as the differential. My only complain about your video is about the graphic are being confusing (incremental is visually the same for the differential).
Used to run off two backup solutions. A full back up was done weekly and differentials at end of day. This was on-site. The size of backup was also important. Due to off site backup. (Backups need redundancy) We had a DVD backup which would hold the incremental. We had a caddied drive full back up.(hot swap bay) The only issue here is; Risk to portable media, loss or damage. And that someone needed to change the media/drive. On smaller business a clone is always handy as I found them quick and easy.. a drive swap is always fast. But having to make them is a bit time consuming. This is impossible to do with some set up types (targets and wwnn) Which again goes down to changing configs. A DB with backed up configs from all services off site works somewhat well. I also saw a company backing up all data on the workstations, spare space. It was file data, no encryption or security. The principal works the way they did it didn't!
I think this is such a hard concept to grasp for most people because it's generally explained so badly, if at all. The CompTIA materials are especially bad in this area. This video helped a lot!
I still don't know if or how much backup space these methods will or won't waste. - Full backup » next full backup needs at least twice the backup space as usually removing old backups comes after the new one has been made. - For those other two » will it just add a bunch of double, tripple etc files that are often modified until you actually get to a restore? What if your backup space is identical in space to the drive you want backups of? And you just want the full backup to be updated with the latest modified files overwriting the old ones.
I was having a hard time understanding the difference between incremental and differential backups. This video cleared everything up. Thank you.
I went through the same
Same here.
It is important to note that Full Backup and Incremental Backup both Clear the Archive bit. Differential Backup does not clear the Archive bit. This is important to know in relation to Security+ exam.
I need the visual to understand the difference between incremental and differential backups. This video really helped.
Thank you, you explained something in 7 minutes what most of the university teachers are unable in hours. You are doing a great job. Very very thank you
I learned this in school, over 30 years ago, as we were doing backups on 640KB 51/4" floppy disks.
As usual
Thanks for making everything simple to understand you're doing a good job buddy
I just LOVE how you explain everything with simple visuals and without too much detail that will make the video unnecessarily long, they're perfectly balanced. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
I am shocked how this channel dont have 1M sub......very simple explanation of very complex Topics....
Sw Architect I guess some people can’t “differentiate” good from bad channels. 👍🏾
People is now focus in entertainment mostly. Instructive stuff are no longer a priority for the majority of human beings.
I agree. His explanations are so simple to understand and the graphics are amazing. Awesome videos.
As far as I know all company stop using incremental backups they only use Full And Differential Back up

Easiest explanation of these backups, especially a day before my A+ exam. Very helpful, as usual! Thank you.
The way these topics are explained are so simple and straight to the point. The animation helps so much. Currently working on my revision for Comptias server+ course and if it wasn't for this channel and these videos i'd literally be lost lol.
This channel rooooocks!!! Please don't stop uploading videos. These are the best explanations with animations that I have ever seen.
I will like to tell you, that you have completely understood the subject and perfectly visualized it for your audience. 10 out of 10. Thanks.
Glad I found this video. I'm taking the A+ cert 1002 exam in a couple days, this explanation helped a lot.
I have watched this video 2 to 3 times . Now I can differenciate between differential and incremental data
😍😍😍
I went thru 2 other videos about backup and I had to stop as the videos were not precise
I would say u r the BEST
Boy, am I glad I'm subscribed to this channel! Explaining this concept in less than 7 minutes was superb!

Thank you so much. Much simpler and easier explanation than in all the textbooks.
Thanks for upload, I was trying to understand this topic from a while. You made me understand in just 1 video.
wow the way other sources explained this was confusing as hell!!!!! I did not under stand the difference between Incremental and Differential until now. As always great explination and visuals. Thanks!
This channel is a game-changer
Best tutorial on back ups so far !I have watched so many videos and still couldn't understand the difference! Thank you so much sir! Made it so simple!
Excellent tutorial! Easy to understand and no unnecessary yakety-yak! Thank you very much!
Best explanation I have seen and heard on this subject!
After watching this video, I can really understand the difference between these three methods! Thank you!
This is the best animated explanation that I could find. Thank you.
the most useful TH-cam Channel
I am a follower of your channel long time ago, your videos are increíbles, easy to understand very visuals, about this topic of backups, my advice is it’s possible to create one video explaining retention backup, a lot of people turn complicated to understand that! With your incredible videos I am sure the problem will be solved, greeting
the best and most clear explication I have found and was able to understand without problem
Very clear and informative video! Thank you!
The best explanation of a topic that causes so much confusion! I’ve taken screenshots and notes thank you so much for doing this what a great channel with so many videos
Best explanation on backups ever!
The Best Vdo in the internet! Period
You always explain things so clearly!
The wizard of youtube on teching IT concepts.
I'm very content with your videos, with clear animation, nice, simple but great, thank you.
Concise video. Admirable. Excellent presentation and explanation! Lovely. Thank you!
Highly Impressed. Awesome and Simple Stuff. Keep Working and Putting Tech. Videos. Thanks very much.
Thank you for making these. The way you explain topics is very straightforward and easy to understand.
love how the video explained between the 3 types of backup. Thanks!
You are the Best,
I got all information in very easy way.
Love from. India🇮🇳
This is the best explanation on types of backup
Please note that some backup systems (such as restic) do not do any of the above, because they are typically uses on media that is not a linear read/write. such as S3 buckets or hard drives.
It's really a wonderful explanation,all my struggle in understanding the consept has gone, thanks a lot.
Now that was impressive!
Clear and concise with visuals!
Thank you!!!
Amazing as usual, one of my top channels ever 👍👍😍
Thank you for this great video explanation, it really helped me grasp and understand the different backup strategies and especially with the animations and the summary at the end, GREAT JOB!!
As always, one of the best (if not the best) explanation methods I have found till date - thank you very much.
Thank you sir.
Your video is very helpful.
Today I have exam.
In short time you have cleared all my doubts. 😊✨
Most welcome
Very good and informative video because the difference in BACKUPS can be confusing. Thank you so much for this chief!
You have a talent for teaching!. Thanks
Diagrams and explanations make everything very easy to understand. Excellent job, keep up the great work!
great video. couldn't have been explained any better. keep up the good work mate!
You make me understand this in a simple way. Thanks.
Simply awesome explanation. Hats off to you Sir, too good
Thank you very much... its really help to understand huge theory in a simple manner.. grade job..
Good job guys, one of the best channels in youtube, visualization concepts make it far easier to understand
Information Technology explained in a simplest form.
I subscribed! 😁
Excellent way of explanation and very clear in concept and content in simple way...
I am thankful for your differentiation- explaining- between types of backups. it was a mystery to me.
Eloquent explanation of not an easy subject. Thanks!
wow great video... was having such a hard time understanding this concept... finally got it.. thank you!
Great to hear something explained once and fully understand it. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. It helped me a lot in understanding the different methods of backup.
the best video explanation, thanks from Kurdistan
Fantastic video, good sir!! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. You're appreciated.
Excellent explanation. Your method of instruction is superb. The difference between "incremental" and "differential" is so subtle that your animation can show the distinction clearly. Well done. Liked and subscribed.

That's what I have observed as well. May be he used same clip as differential to illustrate the incremental as well.
If you watch it again you'll see the backup is represented by the tape icons. The animation here is not the same. The cylinders below show the cumulative data that has changed since the last full backup, not what's being backed up.
Can someone explain how 'incremental backup' deals with deleted stuff in original?
Great video, one key point. you do not always use the latest differential to restore. you use the one closest to when you need.
Mind blowing..impreemssed, appreciating you thank you for clear and neat explanation..
Thank you for explaining this very clearly and in a very simple manner with good visual.
Excellent tutorial 👍 It's illustrative, clear and precise. Thank you very much. Cheers 😊

You made this so much easier to understand. Thank you!
This was a great explaination on such a confusing topic. I did miss the funny animations though. 😟
Hermosa explicación, muchas gracias!. It's a beautiful explanation, thank a million!
well done, and using the 'tape drives' is excellent way to demonstrate backups(bups). ( except the young'uns may need to google tapedrives/history..)

3. they only time you will ever care about bups is when you need to get your data/system back.
SIMPLE is BEST.
super simple explanation. Thanks a lot, now I finally understand difference between incremental and differential backups :)
Keep videos coming, It is really helpful for IT students like myself and I think I should help boost this channel views.😊
R u an Indian ??
I appreciate all your videos. This channel is amazing

proud of you brother ,
you are providing very useful content, hats off buddy!!
I used to think I was smaart because I understood differential backups, but you made it so easy a caveman can do it!
Thanks for making everything simple to understand. Good Job Buddy.
Thank you! Great video, I appreciate your work😊
Clear and to the point. Well made video. Thanks
Thank you that was nicely explained. Kudos! More power to your channel
