  Are you talking about a "soft crash"?  That is, the system goes down
(e.g., someone trips over the power cord), but comes right back up?  My
understanding is that Exchange does not overwrite logs until they are
committed to the main database, even if circular logging is enabled.
Reference MSKB Q147524.

  I do realize media failure will result in data loss since the last backup.
