full backup
Total data duplicate
A full backup is a complete copy of all data in a system, as opposed to incremental or differential backups that capture only what has changed since the last backup.
Full backups take longer and require more storage space but simplify restoration since everything exists in one place: We run a full backup every Sunday night.
