Hi All,

I have a SQL Server 2012 database of size <1 gb and the data of this db is expected to grow by 100 MB every month (i.e., ~ 1 gb per year). We have to backup this database to Azure Blob storage and data loss of 2 hrs. is accepted. Now can you please suggest the best database backup policy. The option i have in mind are

1. Full database backup every week followed by differential backup every 2 hrs (or)

2. Full database backup every week followed by differential backup every day followed by transactional log backup every 2 hrs (or)

3. Full database backup every week followed by transactional log backup every 2 hrs

Note: My database is in Full recovery model
