This may not be the best way to resolve this but it should work. Shut down exchange and do a full backup of your exchange server and logs (flat file). Also backup all of the logs on the network share. Once complete restart exchange. Now turn Circular Logging ON for your information store and restart the exchange services. This will then purge ALL of the logs currently on the drive. Once purged, turn Circular Logging OFF and restart again. Now run a FULL online backup (or two).

Let's make it even simpler. I have 50% of the logfiles on a network share and 50% of the logfiles on the local drive. All of the logs don't fit on the local drive, but they will fit on the network share. The problem is that Exchange won't let me put the logs on a network share. I know that I need to put all the logs in one place. Can I use Windows compression to make them fit?
