Answer Wiki:
SQL Server doesn't have incremental backups. We have Differential backups instead. A differential backup is all the changes since the last full backup. Use the BACKUP DATABASE command just like you would to do a full backup but add in the DIFFERENTIAL flag. <pre>BACKUP DATABASE YourDatabase TO DISK='D:PathToYourFile.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL</pre> This can be done with any version and/or edition of Microsoft SQL Server. You can then schedule this to run using a SQL Agent Job (SQL 2008+ doesn't include the Agent in the Express edition).
