Transaction logging does take place and can be backed up for reapplication to a database backup.
Its not perhaps as well implemented as Oracle's but I have a system with the transaction log backed up every 30 minutes.
The implementation is different but the effect is the same with the ability to do point in time recovery. And they do have log shipping capability in SQL Server 2000 (Enterprise).
The point that really bothered me was the lack of multiplexing the writes to the transaction logs (redo). DB2/UDB has it. The MSS method (only option) is to Mirror.

Fresh in memory because 2 days ago I had meeting with MS SQL people from Microsoft. I will talk about MS SQL 2000 Enterprise. 1. MS SQL cannot handle exception. There is nothing like EXCEPTION WHEN ... THEN.
2. MS SQL has nothing like package.
3. MS SQL has nothing like partitioned table (next release in 2 years will have)
4. There is nothing like INSERT NOLOGGING. You have start/stop logging for whole session.
5. There's nothing like sequence (Well, IDENTITY column IS NOT sequence).
6. Well, you can use undocumented function pwdencrypt and pwdcompare to store
passwords (the same hash function for storing users password is using MS SQL)
:-)
7. There is nothing like ARCHIVE MODE in MS SQL.
Just my notes from meeting.
