What does a full backup copy?

• A. Copies all data
• B. Copies only changed data since last backup
• C. Copies system settings only
• D. Copies data to local cache

Answer: (A)

A full backup copies every piece of data stored at the moment the backup runs, giving you a complete snapshot you can restore from in one step. This means you don’t have to rely on prior backups or multiple backup sets to recover all files and system data. The other descriptions refer to partial or different types of backup: copying only what changed since the last backup describes incremental backups, copying only system settings misses user data, and copying data to a local cache is not a backup at all. So a full backup is defined by including all data in a single backup operation.
