  • RE: backups and transaction logs that grow and grow

  • RE: backups and transaction logs that grow and grow

    Your understanding is not correct. Full backups do nothing to the transaction log.

  • RE: Opening & Saving Multiple Trace Files ?

    Query them from SQL, and/or insert into table from there.
