DESCRIPTION 
Full 
GFI Backup will take a full database backup of the selected Microsoft SQL Server 
databases each time a backup is triggered. A full database backup may be restored to 
either the same or a new database, on the same or a different server. This provides 
flexibility when this type of database backup needs to be restored. 
Differential 
GFI Backup will first take a full database backup and then a Differential database 
backup of the Microsoft SQL Server each subsequent time a backup is triggered.
