Grandfather-Father-Son
a popular data backup rotation scheme that involves creating multiple versions of your data at different frequencies, offering a balance between efficiency and historical completeness.
Grandfather: A full backup performed the least frequently, typically monthly or yearly. This is kept offsite for disaster recovery purposes.
Father: Another full backup, happening more often than the grandfather (weekly or bi-weekly), usually stored locally for faster access.
Son: The most frequent backup, usually incremental or differential, meaning it only saves changes since the last backup. This can be daily, hourly, or even more frequent.
