SQL2k - I am unable to choose the transaction log for backup. The only options available are Complete and Differential. I did a complete and the transaction log option is still greyed. This is not the case in all my other DB's... I only have this problem in 1 DB. Is there some DB setting that I am missing? Maybe Bulk insert is turned on or something?

Do you have truncate log on checkpoint set for that database? Or is the recovery model anything other than Full?

Ah... Ok so it was set to simple. I set it to full but still no go. I need to restart the service for SQL, right? That way it will go through the recovery.

Thanks for the help

You don't need to re-start the server. After you switched to the FULL recovery mode, you have to take a full database backup, and from there on you will be able to take transactional backups.
