So our SQL Server 2000 is giving me the error, \"The log file for database is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.\"
How do I go
Well you could take a copy of the transaction log, then truncate the log file, which is what the error message suggests.
If disk space is full and you can't copy the log to another machine over the network, then connect a drive via USB and copy it off that way.
