the number and not the alphabet. For example, if we type like hotmail.com, the computer
doesn’t understand this, so they use DNS which converts (hotmail.com) into (numbers)
and then executes the command.

‘Archive file backup’ – Are you referring to a full backup? Because neither take a full
backup. A full backup takes a full backup.
Only real difference between diff and inc is what point they use as a reference to
measure the change in data.

Updated answer is incorrect. The basic difference between SMTP and POP3 is that
SMTP is a message transfer agent used to send the message and POP3 is a message
access agent used to receive the message.
Reply
Ali says:
Both POP3 and SMTP are protocols for handling your email over the Internet. The
difference between them is that the SMTP protocol handles sending new emails,
while POP3 takes care of receiving emails.

Question 48
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol used in sending and receiving
e-mail. … In other words, users typically use a program that uses SMTP for sending e-mail
and either POP3 or IMAP for receiving e-mail. On Unix-based systems, sendmail is the
most widely-used SMTP server for e-mail.

SMTP (“Simple Mail Transfer Protocol”) is used for sending and delivering from a client to
a server via port 25: it’s the outgoing server. On the contrary, POP (“Post Office Protocol”)
allows the user to pick up the message and download it into his own inbox: it’s the
incoming server.
