Granted we have smaller things to backup...but .... uh... we're backing
up system state, file backups, exchange 'and' the kitchen sink service
backup all at once and everything works.

I've found, with NTbackup, that if you cram two or more tasks into a
backup job, it's very likely to fail. For example, if you do a System
State and a file backup and an Exchange backup in the same job. It's
best to separate each task into its own job, and sort it out in the
scheduling.
A mixed job will also work for a while and then fail, which sounds
like what happened to OP.

Do you have multiple information stores on this storage group?
(If using Exchange Enterprise edition)...the logs can't flush
until all stores have a full backup, because the logs are shared...

Are you running full (AKA normal) backups every night? It seems
not. Use NTBackup to backup to disk (obviously, you'll need a disk
with over 120GB of available space) and then use whatever normal
program you use to back that backup onto tape. This will keep you
running until you sort out why your normal backup software isn't
flushing the logs when the backup completes.
How are you currently running backups? What software is in use?
Are you sure it's Exchange aware? Are you doing brick level
backups or copy backups instead of a full backup? Neither will
flush the logs.
I'd resolve this as quickly as possible, because if you are in a
situation where you have to replay the logs, you're NOT going to
be a happy camper.

Hi All,
Kindly suggest, what i can do about my Exchange Log files?
I have about 120 GB Log files for past 4 months. I have a few doubts:-
Do i really need all those log files?
If yes, Then how is it possible to manage with this as i have a
very limited space left.
Can i delete these log files?
Backup doesnt remove these log files?
i am really running out of space on my Exchange log storage drive.
*Thanks!!!*
Ravi
