RE: E2K question
Hi There Interesting that you should ask this question - I had the same question come up recently. The way it was explained to me was this: If you do not back up all of your stores, then none of your transaction logs will be purged. So The correct answer is... 1) Disable circular logging 2) Perform full backups for all stores as often as your tape supply will allow.

RE: E2K question
Well, one pendantic point and one possibly not so much... If you don't back up all of the databases within the same /storage group/ in a backup job, the logs won't be purged. And, disabling circular logging, while a nice option in general doesn't solve the original problem as stated... In fact if it were really enabled it would only exacerbate the problem. Disabling might be appropriate after the root problem were resolved. -Original Message- From: Etts, Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 12:30 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E2K question Hi there OOppsss...

RE: E2K question
The correct answer would be C. The transaction logs are only purged when the entire storage group is backed up by either a full or incremental backup (not a differential). However, this is just the kind of test question I hate. Although it does test your ability to apply your understanding of how the systems work to diagnose a problem, the proposed solutions are each suboptimal. Everyone knows you should take full Exchange backups every night, period.

Re: E2K question
Because if you had circular logging enabaled it would prevent the purging of the logs. And more importantly there would only be one log. So it was misleading, and confusing.

RE: E2K question
I think the point was filling up the drive. The idea behind circular logging is that your logs get recycled and shouldn't be growing to the point where they're filling up the drive, so they want you to eliminate that as an answer. -Original Message- From: John Q Jr. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Monday, October 14, 2002 04:27 PM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: E2K question Subject: Re: E2K question Because if you had circular logging enabaled it would prevent the purging of the logs.

RE: E2K question
Actually, there wouldn't necessarily be only one log; in fact there'd likely be more than one. but I don't see how circular logging would result in more logs than one would typically find in an environment where circular logging were disabled. A seems to be the least likely of any of the possible answers. B can likely be discounted because Microsoft thinks everything can be solved through software, leaving one to choose between the almost equally bad answers of C D. -Original Message- From: John Q Jr. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 4:27 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: E2K question Because if you had circular logging enabaled it would prevent the purging of the logs.

RE: E2K question
The answer, of course, is C. (yes, I'm giving it away. I'm feeling generous today. Hopefully I'm generous and right. g) C isn't a horrible answer and it does meet the requirement. If I'm swapping out tapes each night and don't have enough space on a tape for all the databases, but do have enough space for half the databases and the incremental log files from the whole storage group, then I can get logs cleared every night. Otherwise, the fact that two of the databases are not backed up on any given night means the logs never truncate. It does appear that a software improvement could be made such that a checkpoint could be stored for each database so that log truncation could take place (albeit less aggressively than if all the databases were backed up together), but then I think there are more important problems to solve (like, what's the next transender question?). For those of you who went to MEC, but didn't stick around for the last session slot when Laurien Burchall discussed database internals, you missed a great session. The offline QA afterward was also quite informative. === Andy Webb[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.
