If the backup or replication job fails, Veeam Backup & Replication does not truncate transaction logs on the VM.As transaction logs on the VM are truncated, you cannot use them to get the restored database to some point in time between job sessions. In this scenario, you can recover a database to the point in time when the backup file or replica was created. As a result, you have the backup file or replica that contains a VM image at a specific point in time. If the job completes successfully, Veeam Backup & Replication produces a backup file or VM replica and truncates transaction logs on the original VM.With this option selected, Veeam Backup & Replication behaves in the following way: You can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to truncate logs after a backup or VM replica is successfully created. Veeam Backup & Replication provides the following options of transaction logs handling: If you back up or replicate virtualized database systems that use transaction logs, for example, Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft SQL Server, you can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to truncate transaction logs so that logs do not overflow the storage space on the VM.
