  • The log file grows too large because this is the way the application is running the back-end transactions; unless you can optimise tsql, it seems you have to do the maths for your database size, re capacity planning.

    What can be done:

    - increase the log shipping latency until a point where you do not cause a network problem - 10 or 15min?

    - make sure you log file autogrowth is set to a fixed value, not percentage

    - monitor, monitor, monitor how often your log file grows: dbcc sqlperf( logspace) then resize again

  • Do you have replication on the DB?

    Is the log shipping running? (are the backups of the log working?

    Please don't shout (type in all caps).
