When you select only the database for a full backup, you are getting
everything that you need to recover. This will backup the Primary
filegroups and any user-created filegroups, along with the transaction log.
Do not select any items that contain the word 'filegroup'.

On your server in the Microsoft SQL Server folder on the Start menu is a
link to a Books Online. The default is to install Books Online to the hard
drive. This is the best place to begin on most any SQL Server topic.
