Subject: Need help moving
Exchange database log files
I need to move the exchange database logging files (edbxxxx and
mdbxxxx)
off of my main hard drive as they are filling
up the drive and shutting
down the Exchange
services. At present I am running Backup Exec with
differential backups and so have turned off Circular logging. This
has
also been suggested in some of the reading I have
done on exchange. As a
result, more log files are
being written in the mdbdata directories.
Ideally, I
would like to move these and all other logging files to the d:
drive and I would like to know, should this be done only when there are
no
users on the system, will this improve or adversly
affect the operation of
the exchange server and will
Backup Exec have a problem backing up the
exchange
mailboxes if these files are moved in the middle of the day.
An error showed up on Bup Exec yesterday that it could not
backup the
Information stores because the log files had
been moved or deleted after I
tried to move a users
mailbox and import it on to the Exchange server.
This
filled up the c: drive (he had 2000 messages) with loging files in
mdbdata and shut down the Exchange services. So I moved
the log files to
the d: drive temporarily to get
exchange running. If I move them back c:\
will
fill up again and down the service.
Also, How can I find out how big the information store is for a
particular
user?
What a
mess!
Thanks.
