Parikshit Savjani explains how you can use a new DMV to create smart transaction log backups:
In sys.dm_db_log_stats, you will find a new column log_since_last_log_backup_mb which can be used in your backup script to trigger a transaction log backup when log generated since last backup exceeds a threshold value. With smart transaction log backup, the transaction log backup size would be consistent and predictable avoiding autogrows from transactional burst activity on the database. The resulting pattern from the transaction log backup would be similar to below.
The new sys.dm_db_log_stats DMV looks to be quite useful.
