Dear all,
i'm having one doubt since long time,
what will happen if i'm taking a backup of 20 gb database, that is taking suppose two hours of time, in the mean time some users updated some tables or done some transactions. all those will be reflecting in the backup? please provide me clarity in this


thank you very much

From BOL 2005, "Overview of Backup in SQL Server"

Database backup :
----------------
A full backup of the whole database. Database backups represent the whole database at the time the backup finished.

That means the transactions user performed ll also be included.
