Statement: A backup set is a group of data that is backed up in a batch. A backup set can be used for full backup, but can not be used for incremental backup. Is this statement True or False?

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Cannot Be Determined

Answer: (A)

Backups are organized as logical groups of data called backup sets, and the type of backup determines what data is included in that operation. A full backup copies all the selected data into a backup set, but incremental backups are also part of the backup-set framework—they capture only the data that has changed since the last backup and are stored as subsequent backup sets in the sequence. So a backup set isn’t restricted to full backups; it can be used for incremental backups as well. The statement is incorrect because incremental backups can and do fit within the backup set approach, and restoration typically uses the initial full backup plus the incremental backups to reconstruct the data.
