Well, if you set it like that, you will not benefit from the full log, in case you would need it. In my case, I never keep it. At midnight, before the backup, it does that automatically. So, I only copy the data. But, if you really do not need the full log, yes, that could be an approach to use. There might be something simpler directly at the backup command line however. But, that would work for sure. As for the go, I do not think it is necessary here. But, you can try. If it doesn't execute, then you can insert it.
