Transaction Logs

  • My transaction logs are constantly getting filled. I run full backups on a nightly basis, differentials every 3 hours during the day, and transaction backups every 15 mins during the day. Should I be using the With Truncate state in my Transaction Log backup? What is the best method to keeping your Transaction logs from going out of control?

    Thanks for the help

  • Standard tran log backup should do it. Maybe the log is just not big enough? Index rebuilds will generate a lot of transactions. Replication can cause the log to not get truncated if the log reader hasn't cleared transactions.

  • If SQL 2000 check the recovery model in the database option. Maybe you should reconsider changing to another mode if the Full mode is being used.
