Incremental and full backups must be restored in the order in which they were created.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incremental and full backups are dependent on each other and must be restored in the order in which they were created to ensure data consistency and accuracy. The initial full backup contains the complete data set, while incremental backups only contain changes made to the data since the previous backup. Without the full backup, incremental backups cannot restore the complete data set. Therefore, it is essential to restore the full backup first, followed by any subsequent incremental backups to ensure complete data recovery.
