  • - You don't have to reformat your system (by which I assume you mean your C: drive)

    - If you have a database that is growing, its space usage will grow. That is normal.

    - Check the logging setup for the database and verify that it is set to what you need

    - Roll the logs on a regular (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly) basis and set up a policy to remove

    old logs.

    - Move the logs to a different drive (preferably a different spindle)

    - Make sure your INSERTS are in step with your CLUSTERED INDEX. They can work against each other if not set up correctly and cause fragmentation and poor fill ratios.

    Quick questions, is there a SQL Server installed on the system? If so, where is the default data directory? Is tempdb on C: ? Is any db on C: ?

    Must say that I fail to understand how formatting anything solves the problem. 😎

  • Thank you all,

    In my system SQL server was installed,

    My DB Log size is 32GB now ,DB is in Full Recovery model.

    Day to Day Log size is getting increasing.

    If I take a Log backup then the size of Log will reduce or not?

  • Looks like your system is not production. If it's not prod you can change the recover to simple and shrink the logfile. If you would like to keep the full recovery you must have t-log backup.
