this is not a good solution. You lose the continuity of your tlogs, so point in time recovery becomes a PITA.

okay we found the problem, now where doing full back ups and transaction logs with no shrinks or truncating...

the problem is t-logs where growing huge during indexing and other maintenance plans, these are now being investigated to help reduce size of logs...

"growing huge during indexing"

Look into Index Defrag instead of Reindex.

If you have chosen t he default in the maintenance plan your 100% fill indexes will have been changed to 90% fill - which will be a bit pointless, for example, for a PK using an IDENTITY
