tran log backup confused 2.5gb log file but 70gb log backup size

  • We don't use the snaps as a backup method. It is strictly for rollback purposes if an update messes up.

    I have yet to ever have to roll a snapshot back.

  • In that case consider switching to SIMPLE recovery before your maintenance then back to FULL after. Take a FULL backup immediately after switching back to FULL recovery to re-establish a log chain and continue taking log backups per the usual schedule.
