t-logs

  • i have 2 db whose t-log backups occurs everyhour. but everyweekend the log file fills...needs to to be shrunk to create space to avoid further probelms.any suggestions on how to avoid getting these low space alert

  • Add more drive space. Something that runs over the weekend clearly needs extra log space (probably index rebuilds), so shrinking is not going to help you at all, it just means the log re-grows the next weekend

  • You could schedule more frequent TLOG backups during the time the job is running and that may help you out. There is always an "it depends" disclaimer with SQL but try it out. Ultimately you will need to add space... Listen to Gail.

    Thanks,
