When I setup TDP for Oracle and used RMAN jobs , the transaction logs were archives ( & archive deletes) and you needed to also schedule an RMAN job to inactivate the logs and synchronize between RMAN and TDP/TSM. It's been a while and my details may be fuzzy; but it doesn't seem that there is an equivalent in MSSQL. And the logs are backed up, not archived. Should I be scheduling inactivate jogs and do I have to worry about duplicate transaction log names and a limit on the number of versions kept for the backups of the transaction logs? Sorry if I am slightly incoherent-we go live on a project over the weekend, and (as usual) the backups were an afterthought, so I am kind of short on sleep right now. I know you guys have been there & done that.
thanks! lisa
