Did a trans log dump now my trans log backup isn't working..

  • Hi,

    I had to do a translog dump:

    DBCC SHRINKFILE('mxphxx_log001', 1)

    -- BACKUP LOG MSPHXX WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY DBCC SHRINKFILE('mxphxx_log001', 1)

    Now my translog backups are failing with this error:

    Help - I don't know how/if i can reset the translog?

  • I figured it out

    thanks anyway

  • Take a full backup.

    Why are you truncating and shrinking the log?
