Kimberly’s posts are a very good and concise resource! Thank-you for sharing the same.
This reminds me of the session that you had during the Ahmedabad CTD recently where-in you talked about resolving a Sharepoint performance issue simply by changing the initial and increment size for the customer’s data and log files.
I am looking forward to a demo on the performance impact of keeping logs on a different drive altogether – maybe via the blog, in a CTD or in a Tech-Ed on the road.
All in all, it’s always a great learning experience reading your posts. Thank-you very much!

Thanks & Regards,

Nakul Vachhrajani.

Be courteous. Drive responsibl.y

BACKUP LOG AdventureWorks TO DISK=’d:\adtlog.bak’

In this statement, when we backup the log, why we have .bak extension, instead of .trn extension? What iam thinking is transaction Log backups always end in the extension .TRN while full/differential backups always end in the extension .BAK

Thank you for the clarification.
