XADM: Log Files Not Deleted After Full Backup
This article was previously published under Q177773
When you perform a full backup of the directory or information store, the
log files are usually deleted. However, if the checkpoint file depth is
equal to the number of log generations in the directory, the log files will
not be deleted after a full backup.
They are not deleted because all of the log files will be needed for soft
recovery.
This behavior is by product design.
The checkpoint file depth is how many log files contain information that
has not yet been committed to the database. The number of log generations
is simply the number of log files in the directory.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
