How do you backup transaction logs to a null device? My problem is my hard drive space is full and I need to empty the transaction log on database. I would appreciate anyone's help.

Hi

Try issuing the following against the database(s).

BACKUP LOG databasename
WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY

this will truncate the logs without physically storing any data/files on to the hard disk.


Hope this helps

John
