RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange Log files --Disk Full--

[Kevin Brunson]

Ntbackup considers the option to Flush Log Files so obvious that it doesn’t even ask.  Are you seeing any errors in the backup logs?  I have seen ntbackup fail after the data was backed up but before it flushed logs, if some of the permissions were changed.  Of course this was 3 years ago, so I don’t remember which permissions those were.  Were backups flushing logs before 4 months ago?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Technical Support Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 2:56 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange Log files --Disk Full--   Yes, I have been doing full backup but unfortunately logs arent flushed. What could be the possible reason for that. I have to look for it.   I am using NTBackup. There is no option for Truncate Log Files in this backup utility. I am running Info Store backup.   Any suggestions.   Thanks!!! Ravi   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Michael B.

Period.   For some reason – you aren’t getting a clean backup. That’s what you need to be checking into.   Temporarily, you can compress (using NTFS compression – not WinZIP or PowerArc or anything like that) the logfiles until you can make that backup.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Technical Support Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 2:09 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange Log files --Disk Full--   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
