Hi

Using full Backup Model. At the end of backup ( database and log files) say atleast 4 hours later, do a shrink of the log file using enterpirse manager.

The current size of log file is 705 MB
Space in use is 207 MB

I am setting the shrink size to 500 MB but the current size is not changing. The enterprise manager reports "The shrink was successful' but if you check the log file size - the current size is still 705 MB

Suggestions welcome

Thanks
Sanjay

Have you tried DBCC SHRINKFILE? Run it from Query Analyzer.
