Perhaps you can check SQL permissions on the SharePoint_Config_a621cd13-15e7-4c4f-8f8a-fd1fadc25c26 database.

I get the following message, when I try to backup the database;

Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP LOG permission denied in database ‘SharePoint_Config_a621cd13-15e7-4c4f-8f8a-fd1fadc25c26′.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Thank you very much for this article !

I was experiencing log size problems with Sharepoint Services 3.0 SP2 and integrated SQL instance.

NB : Here is the name of the instance to use with SQL Management Studio Express

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Just what I needed!

It worked like a charm!

One question: do we need the log backup for anything or can that thing be deleted? I do run the stsadm -o backup -directory C:SPbackup -backupmethod full command daily to back my SP site. Should that be enough to restore the SP server or do I need the log as well?

[...] So for one of my clients I manage a Sharepoint service. Recently their server ran out of disk space and it was primarily caused the by the config log of sharepoint exploding to 17GB (!). Additionally, the text log files associated with it were of a similar size. Absolute madness. The disk went from 40GB free to full in a 2 hours. No particular errors were associated with this, apparently its the magic of sharepoint. I found a rather useful blog here: http://www.sharepointboris.net/2008/10/sharepoint-config-database-log-file-too-big-reduce-it/ [...]

No, this does not affect the 12 hive. It affects the Content database logs.
