You create a new folder called Catalogs on the second drive in the server and copy the 50 catalog files into that folder, and then you immediately create a differential backup of the entire drive and store the tape for archive purposes. That night, you perform an incremental backup of the drive as part of your standard backup cycle. What, if anything, will happen during the incremental backup?

During the incremental backup, only the files that have been modified or created since the last backup will be backed up. Since you have just created a new folder called "Catalogs" on the second drive and copied 50 catalog files into it, these files would be considered new files that were created since the last backup.

Therefore, during the incremental backup, these new catalog files in the "Catalogs" folder would be included and backed up. The rest of the files on the drive that have not been modified since the last backup will not be included in the incremental backup.

This is because an incremental backup strategy aims to only back up the changes made since the last full or incremental backup. By only backing up the changed or new files, it reduces the time and storage space required for the backup process.
