 ## How often do backups happen?
 
-For local database backups, full database backups happen weekly, differential database backups happen hourly, and transaction log backups happen every five minutes. The first full backup is scheduled immediately after a database is created. It usually completes within 30 minutes, but it can take longer when the database is of a significant size. For example, the initial backup can take longer on a restored database or a database copy. After the first full backup, all further backups are scheduled automatically and managed silently in the background. The exact timing of full and [differential](/sql-docs/docs/relational-databases/backup-restore/differential-backups-sql-server) database backups is determined as it balances the overall system workload.
