To adjust the backup schedule after month-end to ensure the data can be restored as fast as possible while minimizing the time needed to perform the backup, the cloud systems administrator should schedule an incremental backup.
Incremental backups only back up the data that has changed since the last backup, which means they are much faster than full backups, which back up all data regardless of whether it has changed. Additionally, incremental backups require less storage space and network bandwidth compared to full backups, as they only store changed data.
While differential backups are faster than full backups, they are slower than incremental backups because they back up all the data that has changed since the last full backup, whereas incremental backups only back up the data that has changed since the last backup, whether it was a full or incremental backup.
Synthetic full backups combine incremental backups to create a full backup, but they require significant computational resources and can be slower than incremental backups.
In conclusion, scheduling an incremental backup after month-end would be the best option to ensure fast data restoration while minimizing the time needed to perform the backup.
