| ??????Taking a backup of the log won't affect the recovery model.Truncating the log will invalidate log backups and you will need another full backup to backup useful logs again.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| If it's the size of the transaction log you are worried about, try backing up the log hourly or half-hourly. If you back it up frequently enough it shouldn't grow to a unmanagable size.DanielSQL Server DBA |
