Transactions log disk is full and the database is stalled. How can I eliminate this problem without the loss of work by users?

Could anybody provide me the steps to do this using Management Studio?

Thanks!!!!

Backup the Transaction Log regularly (every 15 minutes is a reasonable interval)

Change the Transaction Log to "Autogrow" - if it is currently a fixed size

And create an alert that will back up the transaction logs to a newtwork share when they get say 75-80% full. Stops ANY any database crashes becuase of TLogs getting full

I like that idea - presumably that would launch a TLog backup during Index Rebuild housekeeping (which IME is the most hefty users of TLog space) just-in-time before the TLog was extended?
