I set the Exchange option to FULL. I went back out there on Friday. I shut down Exchange gracefully, and checked the logs. Everything was flushed. I nuked the logs and restarted Exchange. Everything is working fine now.
I tweaked BENT a little in hopes that an error about writing catalogs disappears. Thanks to all for the refresher info. Much appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy David Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 1:16 PM To: 'Exchange Discussions' Subject: Re: Flusing log files - almost out of space How exactly did you "set" the logs to flush in BE? Verify that job method for Exchange (Tools/Options) and the job itself is set for a full online backup. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Richard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 12:15 PM Subject: RE: Flusing log files - almost out of space > Yep.
