I am having an issue with one of our Databases Log Growth. It was initially set to grow 1MB at a time, but after shrinking and doing some other minor maintenance I rest the growth to grow by 100MB. It started out around 65MB and It was 12 VLFs. It has now been about 3 days and it has grown back to 10GB and 852 VLF, now granted this is better than the 42GB and 3,985 VLF that it was, but I am trying to find out why it is growing so fast. On top of this when I look at the Transaction Log Space It has 994% unused and .6 Used. When I look and the Auto Growth events it is not uncommon to see it have 4 events in under a minute.
I have Log backups running every hour on the database during normal business hours, and full backup once a day over night andIndex optimization every dayaround 3am.
Whywould this database'slog be growing this quickly?...
