Geoff,

I "THINK" your db backup will still run and clear your log as long as you
have scratch tapes available, but I'm not 100% sure on that.  I do know that
it will NOT run if you are out of scratch tapes AND your recovery log is
full.

Why not go ahead and extend your recovery log anyway just to be sure...?

Thank you,

Subject:        recovery log full

Question:
If the recovery log is full and a database backup is sheduled to run, will
the db backup run since the server is up and clear the log?
