DB Log Backup Job Setup

 

The DB Log Backup job poll job is as important as the DB Backup job. This job backs up transactions that occurred since the last time a full backup was run. In addition, it performs several maintenance routines to keep the SQL database healthy. The DB Log Backup can be run more often than the full DB Backup. In the case of a disaster, the maximum data lost is limited to any transactions that occurred since the last log backup.
