Truncating Logs on Transaction Log Backup

Post by JaYaKaAzZ »

Hello,

I have Question about the truncating Scenario on a Transaction Log Backup.

When are the Logs truncated? Afer every Transaction Log backup or after a normal VM Backup Job ?

In this Link it looks like after the Transaction Log Backup -> http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/80/h ... ation.html

But in this Link it says after normal VM Backup Job -> http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/80/v ... ql_vm.html

So iam not sure and for know it looks like its just truncating when the normal VM Jobs runs, in my environment.

Best Regards

Hi, Arthur, log truncation will still occur during the normal job run. Thanks.

Hello Vladimir, thanks for fast response.

Is it possible to make the truncation after the transaction log backup ?

Vladimir, an additional question again.

Just to understand it, if I choose periodically Transanction Log Backup, the truncation will not occur after each Transaction Log Backup lets say 15 Minutes interval, right ?

So when the truncation occurs after each normal backupjob that would mean that the transaction log is cut in the middle of a Transaction Log Backup interval and that would lead to a inconsistent Transaction Log Backup...
How does it work with the truncation I still don't understand that :(

Artur, transaction logs are truncated during every logs backup operation (including entire VM backup).
