Hi,
After taking full backup of a database, how can we take incremental backup.

Is differential backup is same as incremental backup or not.

Can we store incremental backup in sepearte file or device. If yes, then how.

Yes. Change the desired path name.
BACKUP DATABASE
NORTHWIND
TO DISK = 'c:\BACKUP.DAT'
WITH DIFFERENTIAL
