I routinely forget this and then have to look it up again so I’m putting it here so I can remember it:
If you have a DEVELOPMENT database using SQL Server you can prevent your transaction log from getting “full” and thus requiring you to back it up with a simple command:
alter database {DBNAME} set recovery simple; ```
Just make sure you only use that in development - if you use it in production make sure you’re aware of the limitations and the issues surrounding using SIMPLE logging. You can learn more about the transaction log on the MSDN Site.
