Yes. The backups of MS SQL Server databases are incremental. After an initial, complete backup of the database, only the log file of the database is updated on the Backup Server in the data center. This means that the software is still capable of making a backup of MS SQL Servers of 100 GB, for example, with a very limited Internet connection. In addition, the compression of the backup of MS SQL Server is often very effective.
