SQL Server 2012 - Backup - Transaction Log

Hey Folks,

Just need some advice here on best practices around backup of a production database we use. This is the first time I have backed it up ( it's not in full production yet ) so I have a maintenance plan for a full backup on Sunday night and then I have a differential that runs every other night of the week.

One thing I have noticed, the full backup is about 300MB, the differential is about 1200KB but the transactional is just over 1GB!? I thougt I would run the transactional every night with the differential but the size is pretty restrictive!?

Also, is it possible to overwrite after 3 weeks of full backups and start again... just so I don't run out of space?

Kevin
