types of backups

[chris]

Howdy all. Im trying to understand the differences between
the different backup types in WIN2KPro. Im lloking @ the
help file and not understanding the difference between a
copy and a backup. Also, whats it mean when the "file is
ready for archiving" box is checked?

TIA, Chris

Look up the difference between full, incremental, and differential backups.
FUll does a full backup (everything) and resets the archive bit.
Incremental backups just changes, and does not reset the archive bit.,
Differential does the same as incremental, but does set the archive bit.
