Create a backup without a transaction log
I have been given a backup of a SQL Server 2008 database in the form of a 150mb .bak file.
When I attempt to restore it to another server it attempts to secure 170gb+ of data, I am assuming this is due to a completely unreasonable transaction log size.
Unfortunately I do not have that much space on my VM to just restore it, so I have restored it on my local machine and after 3 or so hours of "100% complete, loading" it has finally restored.
So... the question is, how do I make another backup of this DB WITHOUT THE TRANSACTION LOG on SQL Server Management Studio Express 2014?
Solution
Fixed by changing the Recovery Mode to simple, dropped the 170gb transaction log to 1.5mb. Thanks @Ennor
