We’re running Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003 and using Veritas Backup Exec v9.1 to do our backups. We’ve always had a problem with Veritas not flushing Exchange logs when it runs backups. In order to work around this, we periodically run a full backup using ntbackup, which will clear the logs. However, for some reason ntbackup is no longer clearing the logs when we run the full backup. The logs are getting to be quite large and are in danger of filling up our server. Is there a reason ntbackup would fail to flush the logs? Is there another way to clear the logs out? I hesitate to delete the log files manually, but we’re going to run out of space soon if we don’t do something.
