Hi Guys,

I clicked the Backup Database and I noticed that the Transaction Log is option is disabled. How can I enable this?

Thanks.

You need to perform a full database backup before you can back up the transaction log.

Thanks for the reply.

We have had Full Database Backup 2 days ago. But when we check again the database backup, the Transaction Log option (radio button) is disabled. What shall we do.


Thank you again.

And I forgot that if your database is set to Simple recovery mode, you cannot back up the transaction log. You must set it to Full or Bulk-logged recovery.
