As I understand it. If you have a corrupt db that required you to go back several days you would not want to replay the log files as you would in essence replay the corruption. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Haaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:48 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Backups Checklist THANKS! That was a most excellent slide deck and answers most of my questions. Only other thing is: if I am then doing FULL ONLINE backups every night do I need to worry about turning off circular logging as I will be deleting the log files each night after they are backed up?
