Users can opt for one of their choice to backup and restore databases in SQL Server. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full Backup:<\/strong> It is also known as the Complete Backup and is created from the start. There is no previously created backup for this and it holds the entire database information. (Stores <strong>MDF<\/strong> files)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Differential Backup:<\/strong> A backup formed between the last and current backup. A full database backup is essential to create it and since it takes less storage, the processing speed increases. This backup is mainly created to fill the backup gaps. (Stores NDF files)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transactional Log Backup:<\/strong> It is also referred to as the Incremental Backup. This is the last form of backup generated to store transaction logs of the database.
