<<> Why use Circular Logging??
Does it make a difference? Our thinking is basically: Given the lack of
separate disks, and given a full backup every night, turning circular
logging off would not gain us anything. Given the principle of not making
changes without sufficient reason (i.e., if it ain't broke, don't fit it),
we just never bothered turning it off. Do you think we should?>>
If you have circular logging, and then crash before your backup, you may
have overwritten log files from that morning -- and will be unable to play
them back and recover. Since you're doing a full backup every night, you
should turn CL OFF and let the backup purge the logs.
