Maitenance Job

In my Maintenance job I specify to keep the BAK and TRN backups for 1 week.
BAK files are delted that are older than this, however the TRN backups are
not deleted. Why is this and how can I resolve it?Hi ,
Typically, the size of the transaction log file stabilizes when it can hold
the maximum number of transactions that can occur between transaction log
truncations that either checkpoints or transaction log backups trigger.
However, in some situations the transaction log may become very large and
run out of space or become full.
For more information, please refer to:

that is running SQL Server

he time to learn those
concepts:
BOL 2000, search for "Selecting a Recovery Model"
BOL 2005, search for "Choosing the Recovery Model for a Database"
