Just to clarify, I understand that the incremntal backup under rollforward mode does not save the complete DB as a full backup does; What I don't understand is why the incremental does not clear the log.

Currently, I can't see why they are different.. A full DB backup will clear the log in rollforward mode and any changes from that point onward are recorded as transactions in the log. An incremental backup saves all the changes since the last DBBAckup - why does this not then clear down the log records that recorded those changes? What logrecords are actually cleared by the incremental DB Backup? Matt.
