T-SQL database backup, is it possible to exclude the log?

Question

Backup

Is it possible when creating a database backup (full recovery model) using T-SQL to backup only the database, without the transaction log? Or vice versa, from a full backup, restore only database files without a log? About the possibility of cropping the magazine, etc. I know, we use it, but there is a need for such a perverted inferior backup.

Answer 1

Also consider switching the recovery model to Simple mode

Answer 2

the main thing is to be able to read the data

Then you can offer either a snapshot , or copy the file using Windows tools using, for example, a shadow copy.
