Hi All,
I use SQL Server 2005 for my MOSS Portal.
I took my full DB backup 10 days before. Now I want to take the bakcup again. But since I need not take full backup of the DB I thought I'll take Transaction log backup. In this context can some one tell me whats the exact difference between differential backup and transaction log backup?.
I feel transaction log backup will be smaller in size than Differential backup.
And also I need to send this backup to my onsite guys. Can some one tell me if I send this transaction log separately will they be able to restore it?
I think I need to take the transaction log backup on the full backup file I took 10 days before.In that case I think I'll have to unncecessarily send a huge file.
Could some on suggest me on which backup I should take and also which backup I should send to the onsite guys?
