Full Backup
A full backup backs up all of the data of a database, including the BI files. You can perform a full backup using either the PROBKUP utility or an operating system utility. Ideally, you should perform a full backup of your database every day. However, depending on your recovery plan, you might decide to do less frequent full backups and more frequent incremental backups, or use after-imaging.
Incremental backups
Incremental Backup:
An incremental backup backs up only the data that has changed since the last full or incremental backup. Incremental backups might take less time and media to back up the database; the amount of time you can save depends on the speed of your backup device. You must use PROBKUP to perform an incremental backup.
