What is difference between Snapshot and backup?

Question

Accepted Answer

Snapshot is a point-in-time copy of data, while backup is a complete copy of data stored separately.

Snapshot captures the current state of data at a specific moment, while backup stores a complete copy of data at a separate location.
Snapshots are usually faster to create and restore compared to backups.
Backups are typically stored for longer periods and provide more comprehensive data protection.
Snapshots are often used for quick recovery of data in case of errors or failures, while backups are used for disaster recovery and long-term data retention.
