Issues with running backup log with no_log or truncate_only
On my database server I have my databases set to the full recovery model, but the transaction logs get quite big, so I am issuing a BACKUP LOG with NO_LOG. I am not exactly sure if this causes any issues, but I know that I am able to free up space in my transaction log and shrink the file. Is this the correct way to handle this situation?
