To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databasesand when i ran the query below[b]select  log_reuse_wait_desc, * from sys.databases where name  ='CDGSYSNCV'[/b]and found the [b]log_reuse_wait_desc[/b] as [b]'LOG_BACKUP'[/b]when i checked here at [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178534.aspx[/url]i found a note - [b]If the reason is LOG_BACKUP, it may take two backups to actually free the space.[/b]So what should i do.  Can anyone help me on this as i don't have control over backup process at my office.Thanks</description><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:17:35 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>S-322532</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
