This article was previously published under Q177773 SYMPTOMS
When you perform a full backup of the directory or information store, the
log files are usually deleted. However, if the checkpoint file depth is
equal to the number of log generations in the directory, the log files will
not be deleted after a full backup.
CAUSE
They are not deleted because all of the log files will be needed for soft
recovery.
STATUS
This behavior is by product design.
MORE INFORMATION
The checkpoint file depth is how many log files contain information that
has not yet been committed to the database. The number of log generations
is simply the number of log files in the directory.
