Did you have the DB Setup to FULL Recovery mode? <br />
<br />
Before taking a transaction log backup, you should<br />
<br />
1) Change the recovery model to FULL <br />
<br />
--ALTER DATABASE DATABASE_NAME SET RECOVERY FULL<br />
--or using GUI . Database Properties - Options - Change it to FULL<br />
<br />
2) Take a Full Backup<br />
<br />
You have to do this in order to be able to setup transaction log backups. <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

hi all<br />
<br />
i am trying to set up a transaction log back up against one db (its in full recovery mode), i create the backup as the picture illustrates and select the db, but each time i save and close out it loses the database selection !<br />
<br />
i cant see what i could be missing?<br />
<br />
also if anyone has any important steps i should be following when backing up the log files - please feel free to advise! eg i have read that there is an option to ignore transactions once they are backed up - but cant see it?<br />
<br />
cheers<br />
