uncheck backup database, historical data, log, relay data.

i unchecked log and trace files, and it dropped my backup down to 20mb.. lol aparently i had a 1.5gb trace file.. what exactly do the log and trace files do? i mean i get what the log is doing but not sure about the trace.. anyways i just deleted all log and trace files on my machine and hopefully NT will start fresh the next time i load it up..
