SQL Log Backup and Truncate

Steve_Babcock
Level 3

I am running a SQL Log backup using the backup method  :

Log - Back up and truncate transaction log

 

The size of the 3 log files that I'm backing up are around 75 MB

The backup ends up being just over 2 GB

Why is the backup so large ?

 

Thanks,

Steve

Can you check the backup job setting -> advanced open file -> Is the checkbox checked 
If yes, uncheck it and try.
