How to backup database in SQL Server 2005

MS SQL Server 2005 already has database backup function. Users can do normal SQL Server 2005 database backup and restore without the third-party backup software.

In SQL Server 2005, when you run a database backup command, SQL Server performs a Checkpoint on the data pages in memory. Checkpoint means that all transaction committed dirty pages are written to disk. Dirty pages are simply changed pages in memory that haven't been written to disk yet. After this the data on the disk is backed up in one or multiple files depending on your requirements. A backup must be able to be restored to a transaction consistent state which means that it will also contain the data from the transaction log needed to undo all of the transactions which are running while the backup is taken.

You can choose the following types of backup:

  • Full Backup
  • Differential backup
  • Transaction log backup
  • Tail log backup
  • Mirrored backup
  • Copy-only backup
  • File and file group backup
  • Partial File group backup
