Transaction log management

SnapManager provides advanced options to manage the transaction logs that belong to a backup management group.

You can choose not to back up transaction logs that Exchange truncates after the backup operation finishes.

If deleting Snapshot copies of LUNs that contain transaction logs related to the selected backup management group breaks the continuity of transaction logs between the previous backup and the present time, you can skip the deletion.

• Option to back up transaction logs that Exchange will truncate
  If you do not need to retain up-to-the-minute restore ability from a backup that is not the most recent, you can reduce the amount of disk space required by omitting the backup of transaction logs that Exchange truncates after the SnapManager Backup operation finishes.
