I’m wondering why my transaction log would only be 2 MB on my 40 GB database when I have recovery mode set to full and unlimited file growth set on the transaction log. Any ideas?
Edit: I’d say there is probably a few hundred MB inserted every day and a lot of updates going on. It’s a database that drives a fairly active website.
Because you back up the log, and that’s what it’s supposed to do?
Sidenote (given that I can’t comment): A full backup does not truncate the log. Only log backups, or TRUNCATE_ONLY commands, truncate the log.
