Softrip recommends backing up and truncating database transaction logs once every hour. Since differential database backups are run every hour, these transaction log backups can be replaced every time they are run (i.e. only keep one single transaction log backup file, overwritten every hour).
Full Backups
Softrip recommends running a full database backup once a day, during off-peak hours (e.g. at night).
