Google is your best friend. But here goes anyway:

Differential backup - A file which contains ONLY the changes that have occurred since the LAST full backup.

T-Log backup - A file which contains transaction logs?! (basically the instructions SQL server used to make changes to the database)


Simple Recovery - Doesn't allow Log backups. SQL Server automatically reclaims log space so no management from the user is required.

Bulk recovery - Bulk operations are minimally logged - other operations are logged as normal.

Bulk recovery - Bulk operations are minimally logged - other operations are logged as normal.


But that's true for simple recovery as well.

I didn't know that. My understanding is that SIMPLE is the same as FULL except that SQL Server reclaims log space by itself and you can't do T-Log backups so no point in time recovery.

Nope. Maybe read the last two articles I linked above.
