I found this pretty quickly in the Admin Guide. Chapter 24 "Protecting and Recovering Your Server"
Verse "Database and Recovery Log Protection: An Overview" "The database contains information about the client data in your storage pools. The recovery log contains records of changes to the database. If you lose the recovery log, you lose the changes that have been made since the last database backup. If you lose the database, you lose all your client data."
