Applications • Re: SQL transaction logs question

Hello,

What image level backup and from where?

It concerns the image-level backup of a server where databases are running. Please take a look at this section of our user guide to get a better understanding of how the retention policy for image-level backups works.

After that, please refer to the page I provided in my previous post, there you will find an explanation of the retention mechanisms for transaction log backups.

However, 40000 log backups for 22 image-level restore points seems to be strange: if you retain log backups with image-level backups and run log backups every 15 minutes, then it is: 4 * 24 * 22 = 2112, not 40000. I recommend opening a support case to find out the root cause, please do not forget to share a support case ID with us.

Thanks!
