SQL DB full with logs
Hi Experts,
we have several DB´s on a SQL Cluster.
But all logs go to the same log file.
Is it right ?
And how to clean up all the transaction logs ?

when I have 270GB of logfiles, how to avoid this big data ?
When the backup is done all logfiles are at zero again ?

ok thanks I will go for 2 hourly incremental backups after the full.
ASKER
But what can I do with the rest of the transaction logs ?
I still have 200 GB logs after the full backup was successful and the incrementals also successful.
How to force the SQL to write all these pages to the DB ?

First I make a full backup, daily.
Then I want to do each 3 hours an incremental backup METHOD LOGS.
And one more incremental backup each 3 hours METHOD DIFFERENTIAL.
But now I still have 200GB of log files and I want to get rid of it.
But I will not loose any data.

Hi first of all to the log and differential method.
Symantec write this to each SQL Backup job.
You have to create one full and two incremental jobs.
Now you say this is not needed, which is right now ?

ok thanks for all the input.
One last question, what is better:
1. the backup of DB and Logs via SQL Management Studio
or
2. the backup via Symantec backup Exec.
Is it wise to use both together ?
