Jim and Howard, I suppose, if all else fails, I will be forced to turn on circular logging. But I really want to figure out WHY it's not working, if I can.

If the server is only doing transport and doesn't host mailboxes or public folders why don't you just turn on circular logging? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Blunt Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 7:06 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Log files not purging... Configuration: - Exchange Servers: Exchange 2003 Native, SP2 on Windows 2003, SP1 (x2) - Backup Server: Windows Server 2003, SP1 - Backup Software: Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers (BEWS), version 11d (version 11.0, rev. 6235) Problem: I have two Exchange servers; one is the mailbox server and has ~1,000 mailboxes. The other one handles all the encryption, inbound/outbound SMTP, etc. On both servers, I am doing nightly FULL Exchange backups and telling it to flush the committed log files. I am not doing brick-level backups on either server. On the mailbox server it works just fine and the only log files on the server are the ones since the last full backup...just like you would expect. However, on the secondary server, it has 7,544 log files, totaling 36.8 GB of space. This is every transaction log file that has been created since the day I put the server into production on 3/4/2007. The backup job is green and says that it's completing just fine, yet the log files refuse to go away. Any ideas on why this is happening? Can I just delete the transaction logs, up to the last full backup?
