Hi,
I try to used this command to free some space

BACKUP LOG HTPN WITH NO_LOG
but then I got the error:

Server: Msg 3023, Level 16, State 3, Line 3
Backup and file manipulation operations (such as ALTER DATABASE ADD FILE) on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup or file manipulation operation is completed.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.


What that mean? and what should I do now to free up the space because the transaction log full

thanks

Most likely you already have another backup operation already in progress. You must wait until it runs to completetion (or kill it) before you can backup your log.

You should consider truncating the transaction log on every backup. That way the backed log records are removed from tlog and you free up space.
