Friends,
We were discussing backup from last few post. Now lets take a look one more feature of backup which is differential backup.
Differential backup  is backup after last full backup. Before taking Differential backup  it is a mandatory condition to take full backup.
Differential backup can speed up your recovery process or we can say restore process.
In below example we would understand how to take differential backup

TO DISK = 'D:\IndiandotnetDB.dif'
WITH DIFFERENTIAL;
GO
