SYMPTOMS
========
When you perform a full backup of the directory or information store, the log
files are usually deleted. However, if the checkpoint file depth is equal to the
number of log generations in the directory, the log files will not be deleted
after a full backup.
CAUSE
=====
They are not deleted because all of the log files will be needed for soft
recovery.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by product design.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The checkpoint file depth is how many log files contain information that has not
yet been committed to the database. The number of log generations is simply the
number of log files in the directory.
