    ok sorry for my misunderstanding but I thought that is why you do Log backups to commit the data to the DB and clear the transaction data from the Log file to prevent excessive growth.

    No.

    When I get home I'll post my article on transaction logs (if someone doesn't do so first) and explain further.

    So bottom line you think the db itself is ok and I just need to figure out why the heck we are getting this continued log growth.

    Yup. Pretty much.

    I can't think of any 'corruption' that can cause a small backup that will restore correctly.
