However, i found that by creating a portable backup, and then restoring the from the portable backup clears the TLG.

If you have a backup (I hope you do, you SHOULD!) then you may be able to get the TLG applied to the backup copy, depending on how it matches. Intuit has a data recovery service that can help. However, I would suggest you talk to the folks at www.qbornotqb.com, or www.accountingusers.com/ Nancy, the TLG by itself won’t do you any good, you have to have a QBW, QBB or QBM copy.

I've not had time to investigate that, and I'm not getting any response to my queries about this at Intuit. I didn't see anything referring to the issue in the recent 2011 R6 update, either.

After a successful full verification backup, I deleted the TLG file and it has stay at around 576KB over the last several hours of QB usage.

We do a complete system back up rather then QB back up. No wonder why system backups are taking 4 hours. Good thing i started digging who knows how much bigger this is going to get. If QB BACKUP doesn't get rid of this monstrosity i'm deleting it. Using Enterprise 2011. My TLG file is 35 gigs, lol. We do a complete system back up rather then QB back up.

Don't forget to make sure if you are in a networked environment to confirm that all your QB programs are running the same versions. One of my Seattle clients had this problem.

Try running the backup from the machine that is the database server. Also, there is a lot of talk going around about the new "search" function in the 2011 version possibly making the TLG file build to crazy sizes. I haven't confirmed that myself. Turning off the search function might be something to consider. Again, I haven't confirmed this myself so I've not written an article about it.
