I am new to SQL Server management and have been tasked with maintaining transactional replication for disaster recovery. The publisher is on one server, with the distributor and subscriber on a separate server. The subscription is set up as pull. I have full backups of all databases, including distributor, master and msdb, scheduled daily and transaction log backups scheduled hourly. This is on both servers. All subscription databases have full recovery model. What I have noticed is the log file on the subscriber databases does not seem to be truncating with the regular transaction log backups. I have been reading about 'issyncwithbackup' but I cannot tell if that will help with this problem or not. While I expect we would simply roll over to the subscriber database in the event the publisher became unavailable, I am not certain we would not need point in time recovery. So I do not know that switching to simple recovery is an option, or even advisable. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Also, I am struggling to find a good resource for more complex replication questions, like this one. Any suggested sites or reading would also be appreciated!
