A differential backup is a type of data backup where only the files that have changed or been created since the last full backup are backed up. Vinchin differential backup is performed based on the last full backup, backing up the source data’s changes from the completion of the last full backup to the current time. In other words, each differential backup references the original full backup rather than the previous differential backup, so there is no dependency between differential backup points.

Captures all changes made since the last full backup.
After the initial full backup, each differential backup includes all the data that has changed
since the last full backup, regardless of whether those changes were included in previous
differential backups.
Each differential backup grows larger over time as more changes accumulate since the last full
backup.
Initially fast, but as more data changes over time, differential backups take longer to
complete.
Captures only the changes made since the last backup of any kind (whether full or incremental).
After the initial full backup, each incremental backup includes only the data that has changed
since the last backup (either full or incremental).
Typically smaller than differential backups, as each incremental backup contains only the
changes made since the last backup.
Faster backups as each incremental backup is smaller and quicker to create.
Supports a wide range of virtual environments and platforms, ensuring seamless integration with existing IT infrastructure.
Vinchin’s intuitive interface makes it easy to configure and manage differential backups, even for users with limited technical expertise.
Features like instant restore, granular recovery, and data deduplication enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of differential backups.
