Sergey Gigoyan compares two sets of backups:
It is a well-known fact that backing up databases is one of the most common tasks for any database administrator (DBA), regardless of the relational database management system (RDBMS) used. However, the definition, naming, and structure of backup types can differ for each RDBMS. Therefore, if a DBA switches from one RDBMS to another, dealing with backup types can sometimes be very confusing. For instance, switching to Oracle databases after working with SQL Server databases for a long time can cause some difficulties. DBAs can work through these challenges by understanding the differences in database backup types.
