Backups done by Snapshot offer several advantages over file-based backups. Snapshots capture the entire state of a system or volume at a specific point in time, providing a more comprehensive backup solution. This allows for faster recovery times, better data consistency, and the ability to restore entire systems or volumes in case of a disaster. Additionally, Snapshots are less susceptible to data corruption or inconsistencies compared to file-based backups, making them a more reliable option for critical data protection.
