A full backup contains all of the selected Exchange Server data.
An incremental backup contains the changed blocks of the database files, the checkpoint files, and a
small number of the log files that are more recent than the corresponding database checkpoint.
Because changes to the database files are included in the backup, there is no need to back up all the
transaction log records since the previous backup. Only the log that is more recent than the
checkpoint needs to be replayed after a recovery. This makes for faster recovery and ensures
successful database backup, even with circular logging enabled.
The transaction log files are truncated after each successful backup.
