Hi GilaMonster,

Thanks for the advice, I read through the article you recommended to see if I could work out a solution and I think I mite be getting somewhere. Im just wondering though, if I was to use simple recovery mode and differential backups, would the differential backups not be as large as my transaction logs? I thought that as its the two jobs I have deleting records causing the issue I would encounter the same problem?

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it,

Craig
