    Executed as user: AP\ytrr. The transaction log for database 'Power' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 9002) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.

    Your help in this regard highly appreciated.

    Check if you have insufficient disk space, Tlog is full to allocate more space depending on the growth rate it is not finding enough space to expand. Free the disk space, take the backup and move the tlog to the disk where there is plenty of space.

    Also find out why the tlog is growing?

    check MS KB on this :

  • Sounds like the database might be in FULL recovery mode but you don't have log backups running, or possibly, the log backups are not running frequently enough.
