In order to have Backup Exec do a full backup of Exhange I need to disable Circular logging in Exchange Admin., but when I disable logging the ms exchange information store and the internet mail service never restarts.

Try editing the registry directly for this change. First, stop the exchange services, then go into Regedt32 and edit the following:

For Directory Store Circular Logging:
key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeDS\Parameters

value:
Circular Logging
0=off; 1=on

For Information Store Circular Logging
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem

value:
Circular Logging
0=off; 1=on

Then restart the services, or restart the server itself.

If it still won't start, you will need to examine the error message given when it fails in order to determine how to proceed... There are a number of possible approaches.

I hope this helps.
