Hi,

If you are working on a production Server, PLs. don't even try to take a Transaction Log Backup. (Reason Being: You dont know how to take TLog Backup, that means you are not aware of anything related to Backup\Recovery, this might put the recoverability of the DB into Risk even if you are able to take a successful Tlog Backup)

In-case you are working on your own Dev\Test machine here is the code:
Backup Log <DB_Name> to disk = 'c:\test\DB.bak'
you can replace the path and filename

Please read the below mentioned link inorder to know more about restoring TLog\ Full backup

These links will give you basic idea & you can start learning point fwd.

Thanks.
