Option 1 and 2.

Hi all, Having great fun at the moment with the mdbdata transaction logs. Currently at weekends (we don't perform backups at the weekend) the logs overtake the world and force exchange (2K) to reach critical mass. These logs are cleared down by the backup process (veritas v8.x) every weekday. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough disk space (4gb) for the server to make it to the weekend. This is obviously a recent phenomenon (I've been ignoring the reducing disk space for a number of months....) The options I have so far are as follows : 1. Buy a bigger hard drive and put the logs on it. 2. Set the backup to run on Saturday and Sunday. 3. Get up at stupid o'clock on a Sunday morning and move the committed log files elsewhere. Any alternatives? Should my logs be getting this big? I know the 2nd options is probably the best. But no one is in at the weekend and I have visions of a problem Sunday night during the backup (which takes a while...) and only being able to get the data back from Thursday!!!!! Idea's folks. Much appreciated.
