## Change Transaction logs associated with [point-in-time-recovery (PITR)](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/sqlserver/backup-recovery/pitr) operations for all Cloud SQL for SQL Server instances are now stored in Cloud Storage. On May 31, 2024, Google Cloud launched support for PITR transaction log storage in Cloud Storage. Since then, Google Cloud has run a transparent migration of these transaction logs to Cloud Storage for all instances created prior to the launch date. This migration is now complete. **Note:** If your Cloud SQL for SQL Server instance is on the old network architecture, the transaction logs for PITR may still remain on disk until migrated to the new network architecture. To verify the storage of your instance's transaction logs for PITR, see [Check the storage location of transaction logs used for PITR](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/sqlserver/backup-recovery/pitr#check-log-storage-location).
