Transactional Log Back Ups

A full database backup backs up the entire database including parts of the transaction log to allow recovery after restoration. A database administrator typically performs full backups weekly and differential backups daily to capture changes. Transaction log backups are taken frequently independent of database backups to optimize recovery based on factors like data importance and server workload.

A full database backup backs up the whole database.

This includes part of the


transaction log so that the full database can be recovered after a full database backup is
restored. Full database backups represent the database at the time the backup finished.

Transactional Log Back Ups

A database administrator typically creates a full database backup occasionally, such as


weekly, and, optionally, creates a series of differential database backup at a shorter
interval, such as daily. Independent of the database backups, the database administrator
backs up the transaction log at frequent intervals. For a given type of backup, the
optimal interval depends on factors such as the importance of the data, the size of the
database, and the workload of the server.

A differential backup is based on the most recent, previous full data backup. A
differential backup captures only the data that has changed since that full backup. The
full backup upon which a differential backup is based is known as the base of the
differential. Full backups, except for copy-only backups, can serve as the base for a
series of differential backups, including database backups, partial backups, and file
backups. The base backup for a file differential backup can be contained within a full
backup, a file backup, or a partial backup.
