A full backup, or dump, of the entire database. In this case, all database objects are backed up in their entirety.
A differential backup of the database, in which only the objects that have been updated or modified since the last full backup are backed up.
A transaction log backup, which backs up only the transaction log operations that are not reflected in a previous backup copy of the database. In this case, no other database objects are backed up.

Once the data has been loaded into the database, the tests and fine-tunes the database for performance, integrity, concurrent access, and security constraints.
