Does NMM2.4 Support SQL Truncate Log?

Dears:

I test the NMM 2.4 by using SQL 2005 、SQL 2008 and SQL 2012.


Backup command is nsrsqlsv -T or nsrsqlsv -G.


Only SQL 2005 can work with truncate only and no log.


It looks NMM 2.4 not support truncate log on SQL 2008 and SQL2012.

Please give me a suggestion for truncate log before backup.

Thanks.

Hi Danny,

In order to truncate the logs you just need to run an incremental backup, no need for the -T option.

When running incremental backup with the nsrsqlsv command, and set level to incremental then only TLogs will be backed up and, if you have the SQL DB's in Full recovery mode then the logs will be automatically truncated after a successful incremental backup.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thank you.

Carlos.

Truncate calls in SQL are actually not recommended by MS.  Having normal TLOG backup will address your issue.
