Hello all. I have setup DB backup jobs (including Full, Differential and log) on SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP3 - OD (which is our production physical server)
through maintenance plan wizard. The concern is regarding the log file backups which is getting heavier in size (from 600 KB to 5 GB sometimes) than the normal log backup which consumes mostly 600 KB to 800 KB. The same job has been setup in another instance
but there the log file is only 200 KB to 300 KB. There is only 1 database (Full-recovery) in this server and it is connected to an application doing OLTP (very I/O intensive). I have set the log backups with compression. Although we have enough space to accommodate
the log files in the shared drive, but this seems unusual. What is that I am doing wrong? Can anyone assist? Please let me know in case you need additional info. Thank you!
