Only Log backup frees up.i've a BIG doubt that how to check which type of backups are running in my server? will a job run automatically for this after selecting a maintenance plan?Use this to Check your backups. Put databasename:declare @databasename as varchar(100) set @databasename = 'yourdatabasename' Select database_name + rtrim(case when type ='L' then space(5)+ name when type ='D' then space(1)+name when type ='I' then space(3)+name else '' end)+ space(3)+ convert(varchar, Backup_Start_date, 121)from msdb..backupsetwhere database_name = @databasenameand Backup_Start_Date >= (select max(Backup_Start_Date) from msdb..backupset where database_name = @databasename and type = 'D')order by Backup_Start_dateArnavEven you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence.

| Yup, or, if you don't need to ability to restore the DB to the point of failure (if it does fail), put it into simple recovery mode and you won't have to worry about the logs.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
