One of several databases I support is about 70 MG. I have a nightly full
backup and hourly transaction log backup running on all of databases and
there is no conflict in time on jobs.. There is something about this database
that I do not understand. It takes less than a sec for a full backup but for
the transaction log backup is about 10 sec. I do not know why any ideas?

70MB or 70GB? What recovery model are you using on the database?

Is the log backup running at the same time as the Full backup?  If so then
change it as the Log backup can not happen until after the full is complete.

No Mr. Kelly there is no conflicts. Even if I change the frequency of this
job the time remains the same.
Thank you,
ktf

Are the tran logs on a different drive aray than the data files?  If so you
might want to check and see if the array is not corrupt.  Other than that I
don't know of a good reason why this would be happening.

Hi ktf,
In the database you have data, but in TL you have every transaction you do
on the database including regenerating indexes and similar task, you often
check  consistency of the data after backup. Online TL backup must also deal
with physical writes to disk. So I am not surprised with time consuming
backup off TL.

Regards,
Daniel
