backup types

hi
Can any one recomend what is difference between
differential and incremental backup in SQL Server 2000.
Thanks
KalyanThere is no difference. There is no such thing in SQL Server as an
Incremental backup command just Differential. People use the terms as one
all the time though.

with NT backup. The term differential backup in SQL is equal to incremental
backup in NT. It backs up the changes since the last full backup.
