Bulk Change Map pages in sql server

BCM (Bulk Change Map) page also known as Minimally Logged Map (ML Map). SQL Server uses BCM pages to track extent modified by bulk logged operation since last backup log operation. BCM has a bit for every extent it tracks. If the bit is 1, the corresponding extent is modified after the last log backup due to bulk logged operation, if the bit is 0, there is no change in the corresponding extent due to bulk logged operation after the last log backup. A BCM page can hold information of around 64000 extents.
