Optimization job/logs

  • My optimization job runs once a week after that my logs are too big, is there way to do something about it? We are running out of space, because we do back back up every day and then full back up oonce a week

  • Are you talking about the transaction logs?

    Try backing the tran logs up more often than once a day. Try switching the DB to bulk-logged recovery for the duration of the index rebuilds, then back to full (and take a log backup) afterwards.

  • I do transaction logs every 4 hour.What happends after I run my optimization job at 5:00. My transaction logs at 8:00 get really big almost the same size as reg.bakup and then at 12:00 gets back to normal, when I ran my reg full back it is really big and we are paying a lot of money for backup. What is your suggestion? Thank you
