That setting is typically only valid for database agents. Not sure from the screenshot, but that looks like it is from the properties from a schedule policy. If you do not define the schedule policy to a specific agent then it will display all possible job type options and can be a little confusing as to what settings apply to the specific agent type you are trying to back up. 

 

If you were applying that backup setting to a SQL server job and only selected the log and not data, then it would perform a trans log backup only.
