What are the different types of backups that exist?..

Answer / Sanjeev Kumar Aman

In SQL Server, there are several types of backups available. Full backup creates a copy of an entire database, including data files and log files. Differential backup only captures changes made since the last full backup. Transaction log backup captures transaction-level changes, allowing for point-in-time recovery. Copy-only backup creates a read-only copy of a database for reporting or testing purposes without affecting production data. Snapshot backup takes a snapshot of a database at a specific point in time and can be used to create read-only versions of databases.
