I used Areca backup in the past, nice tool. To restore your whole backup archive you'll need the first full backup file and every delta you have produced afterwards. I prefer using differential backups instead incremental/delta ones because it facilitates the restoration process (you only need two files). The drawback is that it takes more space. > From what I understand, delta blocks backup is a more efficient for > saving storage space, isn't it? Yes, is more eficient, but a complete restoration of the backed data will require that all of the small deltas to be there.
