...but I cannot for the life of me seem to shrink them. I'm still a SQL noob, so thanks for any help here. I got my last issue resolved(well, a sufficient workaround in place at least), but am stumped on this one.
This is the process I'm trying in SSMS:
1. Backup the TLog as a .BAK file (Copy-only backup)
2. Task Shrink Files File-type: Log Shrink action: release unused space: SHRINK.....does nothing.
Why? This has worked on other DB's but isn't working on these and I don't understand why.
All our SQL servers are 2012 if it matters. Thanks!
