Hi,
I am trying to backup my vCenter database (resides on a physical machine) which is set to recovery model Full.
I have 1 policy to so a Full machine backup and a Full backup of the SQL databases.
I then have another policy to do a Differential machine backup along with a Truncate log Backup of the SQL databases.
The job is successful though for whatever reason the actual database logfile does not reduce in size. It is still 20GB and growing.
Is there something I am missing here?
The Informational event on the vCenter server is as follows:
Log was backed up. Database: vCenter, creation date(time): 2009/10/29(14:32:41), first LSN: 40632:108742:1, last LSN: 40632:193815:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'vCenter_00__4971e9aa_e86a_49eb_86c6_76cdc34305c5_'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Is there anything else I need to do to make sure the database log file gets truncated?
Regards,
Terry
