Hmmmmmm.... that is a good point. The assumption was that any failure
that required restoring from tape would have destroyed the logs as well --
i.e., something like a complete disk failure. A failure such as you
describe is perhaps not very likely, but certainly possible.
I will move to have circular logging disabled on any Exchange system we
maintain.
Thanks for the advice!
