A full backup is the starting point of an incremental backup. Incremental backups reduce the time and network bandwidth required in full backups. Security issues-an entire copy of the data can be stolen because everything is stored in one place.Longer to perform-full backups take longer than other types of backup because everything is backed up at once.

Redundant backups-full backups waste a lot of storage space because most files rarely change and each backup is simply a copy of the previous one.

Fast data recovery -you can easily restore the data because the data is stored as complete files.

As a result, you do not need to search through different files to find the file you want to restore.

Better storage management-the entire data set is stored in a single backup file.

A full backup is usually the starting point of other backup types. Admins responsible for larger data sets usually implement full backups only occasionally, combining them with other backup types. Some Linux admins try to save storage space by backing up small batches of data or folders.
