  • You must immediately back up your transaction log file. Maybe, decrease the time interval of T log backups if possible.

    While the backup of your transaction log files is created, SQL Server automatically truncates the inactive part of the transaction log.

    Also,

    Set the size of the transaction log files to a large value to avoid the automatic expansion of the transaction log files.

    If you read Gail article, you should get clear about T logs.

    Not necessarily. That'll only help if the cause of the large log is the lack of log backups (as opposed to the several other possible reasons). The first step should be to figure out why the log is full or growing, then take appropriate action.
