The Normal backup type will backup all selected files to the location that you designate. The Incremental backup type will back up all files since the last Normal or Incremental backup was performed. The Normal and Incremental backups will reset the archive bit for all selected files after the backup is complete.

Correct Option(s):

b) Normal
c) Incremental

Incorrect Option(s):

a) Differential - The Differential backup type will backup all files since the last Normal or Incremental backup but will not reset the archive bit.
d) Copy - The Copy backup types will backup all selected files but will not reset the archive bit.

So apart from archive bit reset, what's the difference between normal & copy, incremental & differential backup? In other words, what does the bit really facilitate?
