The correct answer is A. full backup method.

A full backup is a type of backup that makes a complete backup of every file on the server every time it is run. This means that every file, folder, and directory on the server is backed up, regardless of whether or not it has changed since the last backup.

Full backups can be time-consuming and require a lot of storage space since every file is backed up. However, they offer the most comprehensive protection against data loss since they ensure that all data is backed up.

In contrast, incremental and differential backup methods are types of partial backups. Incremental backups only back up the changes that have occurred since the last backup, while differential backups back up all changes that have occurred since the last full backup.

Tape backup is a method of backing up data to tape, which is a magnetic storage medium. It is a common method of backing up data and can be used with any of the backup methods mentioned above.

In summary, the full backup method makes a complete backup of every file on the server every time it is run, offering the most comprehensive protection against data loss.
