hi, i have exchange 2003 with single storage group and mailbox store (the
default one), i did a full backup twice and i was suprised that the
transaction logs are not deleted from the store ,i want to free disk space
till i get a big hard disk,the transaction logs took much space , i don't
want to use the circular logging.i'm just wondering why the full backup not
deleting the logs.any suggesions for deleting the transacion logs?
thanks

Are you backing up the Information Store object as opposed to files?  Using
what method or tool?  Is there anything in the event logs?

i'm doing a regular exchange information store backup with NTbackup,no
special application or software,nothing wrong in the event log or the backup
reports.

Hi,

Does an ESE* event state the Logs are being truncated due to a full backup?

You must back up all databases in a Storage Group for the Logs for that SG
to be truncated.
