Truncating transactionlog

  • If you have a full recoverymodel, is the T-log truncated when doing a full database backup? When you do a T-log backup? Or do you have to explicitly run a Truncate nly script?

  • The log is truncated when you do a T-Log back up. not db backup.

  • It's truncated automatically and ONLY when you run a transaction log backup.   Running a full backup does NOT truncate the transaction log, despite what you might see posted from time to time.
