And you are not using replication?

Paul's response indicated that the log has to wrap. Could it be that the
transaction log is very big in relation to the update activity in the 
database?

I don't know, but what do I know, is that you need to test anyhow,
no matter the state is 2 or 3. That is, you need to know that you 
understand the procedure in case of a failover, and that the databases
are still accessible after a disaster. It seems like a good idea to
first test with one of the other databases.
