Hi
I would like to do error trapping when running BACKUP LOG and write it to a file or email it.. Also would like to find a way to test if it's worth running BACKUP LOG as I see if there have been no changes to the database / logs, it produceses errors. thus if I could test to see if there are changes to the logs / database and then only if there are I would exicute BACKUP LOG thus avoiding unnessary error being genirated ..

Hi there -

As far as I know, there is no way to trap a BACKUP LOG statement in any type of a trigger; the only option I know of is to use Profiler and trap the sql events.

The only option I can suggest is do not let people that don't know the impact of taking transaction log backups back up your databases!
