What is File Backup?
File-level backup refers to a method of backing up individual files and folders. In this approach, instead of creating a complete snapshot of the entire disk or system, only specific files that are valuable are included in the backup process. It allows users to choose specific files or folders they want to back up, providing flexibility and control over the backup process.
