8.When you only back up one partition, this is called a ______ backup.

Differential
Full
Partial
Copy

Explanation: If you are backing up just one partition and not the entire system, you are backing up only 'part' of the system. This is therefore a partial backup.

Incorrect Answers
A: A differential backup backs up all files that have been changed or created since the last full or incremental backup. A differential backup does not describe what portion of a system was backed up.
B: A full backup backs up all the specified files. A full backup does not describe what portion of a system was backed up.
D: A copy backup backs up all the specified files. The difference between a full backup and a copy backup is that a full backup marks the files as having been backed up, whereas a copy backup doesn't. A copy backup does not describe what portion of a system was backed up.
