Sounds to me like he needs to run to the disaster recovery white paper. And read it.. Before that happens he needs to step away from the server.
Those are not log files like what your server did. They are transaction logs. As in a copy of every message that has come in and out of your server, that in the case of a Priv loss can be re applied to a backup to make your Priv current. Go, read, NOW! Then you can ask more questions.

Or, you could stop the IS, and that will commit the log files as well. Are you running out of space? Is that why you need to delete them? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -K.Borndale Network Administrator Sybari Software 631.630.8569 -direct dial 631.439.0689 -fax http://www.sybari.com "One man's ceiling is another man's floor" |--------+-----------------------------------> | | Robert Williams | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: | | | bounce-exchange-148870@ls| | | .swynk.com | | | | | | | | | 11/12/2001 12:44 PM | | | Please respond to | | | "Exchange Discussions" | | | | |--------+-----------------------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | cc: | | Subject: RE: I need help with edb*.log files | >----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------| I backup my server with Veritas Backup Exec....all of these files were generated in 1 day.....Can I delete these without any problems?

Those logs are what is being written. If you are backing up the server, and have the log files removed, you won't see quite so many -there is an option to "flush committed logs" when backing up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -K.Borndale Network Administrator Sybari Software 631.630.8569 -direct dial 631.439.0689 -fax http://www.sybari.com "One man's ceiling is another man's floor" |--------+-----------------------------------> | | Robert Williams | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: | | | bounce-exchange-148870@ls| | | .swynk.com | | | | | | | | | 11/12/2001 11:58 AM | | | Please respond to | | | "Exchange Discussions" | | | | |--------+-----------------------------------> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | cc: | | Subject: I need help with edb*.log files | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ------------------------------------------------------------| I have about 200 edbxxxx.log files in my mdbdata folder.
