Where Are Sql Backup Logs

By default, application log files are stored in: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Red Gate\Logs\SQL Backup (Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and later) %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Red Gate\Logs\SQL Backup (Windows XP and Windows 2003)

How often should I backup SQL logs?

Taking a log backup every 15 to 30 minutes might be enough. If your business requires that you minimize work-loss exposure, consider taking log backups more frequently. More frequent log backups have the added advantage of increasing the frequency of log truncation, resulting in smaller log files.
