In the manual there are the following two definitions:

 

Differential

A backup that includes all files changed since the last Full save started. Note, other backup programs may define this differently.

Incremental

A backup that includes all files changed since the last Full, Differential, or Incremental backup started. It is normally specified on the Level directive within the Job resource definition, or in a Schedule resource.

 

Why do we need both?

 

It seems that a full followed by a number of incrementals would get all the files?

 

Would it be that a differential in between adds some redundancy?
