I think it's ok because the data is not mission critical and I back it up myself also with a console app I wrote. ?
Matt,
How is your console app actually backing up the transaction log? Is it just making a copy of the .ldf file?
In Simple recovery mode, transaction logs cannot be backed up. The fact that you think you are backing it up worries me that you might be misunderstanding how backups work and might be depending too much on a file that will not be readable if you should happen to need it.
