transaction log backups... a few questions.....

[copernicus]

Hi,

I am doing a daily full backup of all the databases.I want to backup the transaction log with a tsql like this...


backup log xyz_db to
disk ='k:\sqllogbkups\xyz_db.trn'
with noinit,no_truncate


I understand the once xyz_db.trn is saved on tape... I have to run a job with the options "with init,truncate only"

Is this correct ?
or should I follow some other way of backing up transaction logs....?


Thanks,
Copernicus..
