Log file growth

  • I have a replicated database I built back in May. The database is now 13Gb, but the log file is at 31Gb. I have 14Gb left on the drive. I've tried shrinking the file and backing up with truncate only, but it doesn't seem to help. This is a replicated database if that makes any difference. How can I get that log file back down to a reasonable size?

  • Did you check whether or not your replication works? Replication can hold the logs so that you cannot truncate them.
