Take a look at the log directory and make a not of when the logs were created. I've seen instances where it appeared as though logs were not getting purged by backup when in fact they were, but there was a huge amount of data being processed since the backup due to mail looping and a lack of prohibit send/receive.
If the logs are all dated after your last backup, then I would diagnose in Exchange, if the logs predate your backup job, then perhaps review your backup configuration.

Where would you start in troubleshooting that problem, the backup system or Exchange? Thanks.

If you perform a full (normal) or incremental backup, the backup program purges the logs. If you perform a differential or copy backup, the logs are not purged.

Or you do if you manually do so after a successful off-line backup. If the logs were not purged, then the option to do so wasn't set. knighTslayer -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ashraph, Elizabeth A. Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 12:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Trans logs Please forgive me in advance for asking this, but in Ex5.5 who deletes the transaction logs after a full backup, does Exchange or the Exchange aware Backup software (like Veritas). Has anyone seen cases where backups are successful but the logs don't get purged, what might cause this. Thanks.
