simple recovery - tr log is truncated on every checkpoint.
Full, bulk loged - need to implement log backups otherwise log will grow to fill machine.

Full backup will backup whole database and the tr log that is needed so that database can be restored.
Diff backs up differences since last full backup - to restore - restore full backup (with standby) then any of the following diff backups.

TR log back - these enable you to restore the changes made. They are independant of any full/diff backup i.e. you can restore any full backup then all the following sequence of log backups to restore to the state of the last log backup. This is good as if you have a corrupt full backup you can go back to the previous and as long as you have the sequence of log backups you can still restore to a recent state.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
