highly appreciated !

You are the DBA for a busy order entry database. You want to provide a
method for automatically backing up the transaction log for you database in
case it becomes more than 90 percent full prior to the next regularly
scheduled transaction log backup. What is the best way to accomplish this?
1.. Create an alert in Performance Monitor to call an OSQL script to
backup log the transaction log when it becomes more than 90% full.
2.. Create al alert in SQL Enterprise Manager that will call a job to
backup the transaction log when it becomes more than 90% full.
3.. Create an alert in SQL Enterpise Manager that will call an OSQL script
to backup the transaction log when it becomes more than 90% full.
4.. Create an alert in Performance Monitor that will call SQLALRTR.EXE to
trigger a SQL Server alert to backup the transaction log when it becomes
more than 90% full.
5.. Create a schedule transaction log backup for every 10 minutes.
6.. You cannot do this.

6 is out of question!!!
2 sounds reasonable. Attention: That will not be an event alert (there is no
event / error code for 'log 90% full') but a performance condition alert!
