Hil Oliver,
Which service generates the high amount of log-segments? You can use the below SQL Statement to aggregate the entries of the backup catalog or the backup.log to check that:
service_type_name, count(*) from"PUBLIC"."M_BACKUP_CATALOG_FILES" a join"PUBLIC"."M_BACKUP_CATALOG" b on a.BACKUP_ID = b.BACKUP_ID where b.ENTRY_TYPE_NAME = 'log backup'and source_type_name = 'volume'and state_name = 'successful'groupby service_type_name
If it is the Statisticsserver, you can e.g. think about migrating to the embedded statisticsserver service (SAP Note 1917938) or increasing the log_segment_size_mb to 1024 Mb accordingly. I think 8 Mb is the default log_segment_size_mb for the XSEngine which could be increased to 1024Mb too. It is recommended to stay with the default setting of log_backup_timeout_s (time until a not yet full log-segment is closed) as it has an impact on the Recovery Point Objective as outlined in the SAP HANA Administration Guide.
Best regards,
Michael
