SharePoint 2010 Backup Overview

Database-level backup protects the SharePoint Server 2010 database files. It is the fundamental backup for your SharePoint Server, and you should always use it if you use one of the other granular backup types. You can use database-level backups to restore SharePoint Server in the event of a system failure, database corruption, or a disaster recovery scenario.
