Sounds like you are using the full logged method and your maintenance
plan isn't setup correctly!

Also make sure you have the right service pack if you have sp2 for sql
server as there were a few releases of this...

If you never backup the log file it grows out of proportion!

Get a SQL Server DBA who knows what he is doing!

Would love to have a DBA here. This particular problem we believe is
something to do with how WSS3.0 restores. No normal SQL backups or
restores are performed all actions are performed by stsadm.

Even when we deleted the contents database via WSS admin the SQL DB
size remained.

Any further ideas?
