Re: What are SC SQL backup types?

Hi

you can have a look here

http://docs.netapp.com/ocsc-40/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.ocsc-con%2FGUID-454D4292-3ACB-4258-8D0F-FE99C269A3DD.html

then, shortly here for exchange:

Full Backup
- The DBs will be backed with log truncation .
- The truncated logs won’t be backed up .
- The logs above the checkpoint to the high log generation will be backed up by default anyway.

Full and Log Backup
- The DBs will be backed up with log truncation .
- The truncated logs will also be backed up which means all the logs (even the ones that will be truncated will be backed up )

As you can see Full Backup with “backup logs that will be truncated” is same as full + log backup.

Log Backup
- Backed up logs since the last log copied for that DB will be backed up.

Copy-only

This option to specify that the Server does not truncate transaction logs. You should use this option when you are also managing the Server with other backup applications
