because it is not applicable for Simple Recovery model

refer to BOL on Recovery Model for further details

Its a simple information message. If you have any databases in Simple recovery mode, then you will never have transaction logs for these that you can back up. Read up on recovery models in SQL.

Her is a simple explanation: http://databases.about.com/od/sqlserver/a/recoverymodels.htm

and here is the BOL version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189275.aspx

You can easily switch from simple to full recovery model by using following query:

USE master;
ALTER DATABASE model SET RECOVERY FULL;

But you have to consider some points before & after switching to another recovery model. Check this article, it has good explanation: http://www.data-base-recovery.blogspot.in/2012/05/important-points-when-switch-from-one.html
