Challenge
Cause
This occurs when the Recovery Model of the VeeamONE configuration database is set to Full or Bulk-Logged.
Note: By deafult, Veeam ONE expects and configures its configuration database to use Simple recovery model, and as such, does not automatically truncate the transaction logs for its database.
Solution
Consider the following:
- The Veeam ONE configuration database is highly transactional as it frequently collects new data from the environment, this in turn causes the transaction logs to grow.
- The Veeam ONE configuration database (VeeamONE) should be configured to use the Simple recovery model.
- If the configuration database must be set to the Full recovery model because the database has been added to a SQL Server Always-On Availability Group, the transaction logs must be truncated by the user.
More Information
The growth of the transaction logs (.ldf) is impact by the Data Collection Mode used by Veeam ONE.
