mssql_truncate_logs

--mssql_truncate_logs

The parameter is used with the backup mssql_database command.

If the parameter is specified, the Microsoft SQL Server log will be truncated after each full or incremental backup. The truncation occurs only if the SQL Server metadata has been successfully collected during the backup.

Do not specify this parameter if you use a third-party application, such as the SQL Server backup and restore component, for backing up the SQL Server data.
