Good Morning

We have a nightly DTS job, which uploads data, to a number of tables (35
tables).  However the DTS job failed last night, due to the following error
returned :

****
Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error Description:The log file for database 'G_Data' is full. Back up the
transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
****

However, on the properties of the Database (G_Data) , the option for Auto
File Growth was selected and Increase by 20 percent.  So I am somewhat
puzzled that there error occured?

This isn't a recurring error, since the last time this error had happened
was about 6 months ago - Is it in connnection with the frequency of jobs
that I am runnning or is there something wrong with the settings I have
selected?

Kind Regards

A file will only grow until there's enough free space on the disk. More
critically - why don't you backup your transaction log?

After backing up, do I delete it?

NO!  After you back it up, there should be free space available because the
backed-up transactions can be overwritten.
