I have two files in my directory

	Genesis_Data.MDF
	Genesis_Log.LDF

Genesis_Log.LDF is ever increasing and doesn't shrink, is there
something wrong with the file or should I be truncating this manually

The Transaction Log will automatically truncate after a backup...the
best way to do this rather than the checkpoint is to schedule a
transaction log backup at an interval that is fair for you.

When your recovery model is set to full you can then restore up to the
minute before failure.
