the fine point is that with a log you get point in time recovery, so that, 
when you know that yerserday at 4 pm someone issued 'delete from mytable' you 
may roll forward the database to the state 3:59. This is definitely something 
a mere file backup cannot offer to you - except when you backup very, very 
often.
