  • HI Gansh,

    When you shrink the Log file, the Log file size is reduced to its initial size or size till which it holds the data currently which ever is more. Needless to say that once this is filled the File size is again incremented.

    When the file is shrunk and again expanded there will be some stress on the server to perform this activity. So unless required its always good to leave it as it is

    You can restore Full backups taken before shrinking the file and Log backups that were taken after shrinking the file

    Hope that answers your questions

    Thanks,

    Mani
