    Currently have a database with two files, PRIMARY and FILESTEAM. We only want to backup the PRIMARY file. What is the proper way to backup the log file after the PRIMARY file backup and what is the proper way to restore the PRIMARY file backup around with the restoring the concurrent log file backup?

    Thanks in Advance

    Well, you will want to back up the FILESTREAM data as well at some point. While I have not tried it, I suspect you will get a lot of errors about the FILESTREAm filegroup being out of sync with the PRIMARY file group. You can do a filegroup specific backup. Generally, when you restore you need to apply transaction logs until all of the filegroups are at the same LSN.
