Description of Types of Backups
Type of Backup Description
Full Backup
For server backups, this schedule type will back up the Exchange Server
database and associated transaction logs. All committed transaction logs
will be truncated (deleted) after they are successfully backed up.
For mailbox backups, this schedule type will back up the entire mailbox,
including all the folders and messages in that mailbox.
For the Public Store, this schedule type will backup the entire Public Store,
including all the folders and messages within the Public Store.
Differential-
A differential incremental backup will only back up changes since the last
incremental backup
full or differential incremental backup. Differential incremental backups can
be performed of databases, the KMS and SRS services, mailboxes and of the
Public Share.
When using this method to back up a database, only transaction logs are
backed up. After the successful backup of the transaction logs, all
committed logs will be truncated (deleted). The truncation of the transaction
logs sets the context for the next backup.
To perform a full restore the data needed is contained in multiple
NetBackup images. One image for the full backup and another image for
each differential incremental that was performed.
User Backup
A user backup is not automatically scheduled and is initiated on the target
client machine.
A user-directed backup of a database is identical to a full backup except that
the transaction logs are not truncated. Because of this, user backups are like
taking a snapshot of the databases at a given point in time without
impacting the content of ongoing full and incremental backups.
You may want to consider creating a separate policy for User Backup
schedule types. This will allow you to easily separate user-directed and
scheduled backups when restoring files. If you decide to create separate
policies for User Backup schedule types, the considerations are similar to
those for automatic backups. A Backup Selections list is not needed because
users select the files before starting the operation.

A full backup should be good. There should be an option to do a full backup
with a purge of the log files vs a full backup copy without the purge of the
log files.

Hello...
Yes, I'm doing full backup of the MicrosoftInformationStore. Do I have to do
Differencial backup for the log files to be deleted?
