if you
disable circular logging, you can recover from point of failure.. that is why
you should turn it off.

Subject: RE: Backup Exec Problemwe do backup from a different server - two of them backing up all of my servers individually onto Dell DLT drives.We have been toying with disabling circular first so I guess with 25 gigs I should be able to - but if this does not work I don't want to not have a way back and then have this server get overwhelmed with uncommitted log files.If I disable circular logging can it be re-enabled without much issue?Jim Zangara, MCSE+I

Subject: RE: Backup Exec ProblemThen I guess the next thing I would try would be to disable circular logging. I have 2 servers running Backup Exec 8, one with a DDS3 and one with a DDS4, neither have circular logging enabled. The remote agent backup has me worried too. Are you backing up the exchange database from another server? That is something I havent tested before. I always do local backups when it comes to exchange. Never worked for a company with a large enough store to require anything else.Matt Bullock(Up the 101 in Westlake)List Charter and FAQ at:-----Original Message-----

Subject: Backup Exec ProblemHey Folks - This list has been so helpful I am dipping into the well once again.We are not getting a solid backup of our exchange server. We have contacted Veritas and done every step they suggested and we have had zero luck.Environment:Exchange 5.5 sp4 running on Windows 2000K SP2 Circular logging enabled until I can get a solid backup.Backup Exec 8.5 running on NT 4. SP 6aRemote agents and Exchange agents installed (and reinstalled ad naseum)It seems to be failing on the logs. I have a 25 gigs of space on the log drive so I can disable circular but I am concerned of the ramifications of that as well without a solid backup. I have full access to the server as I CAN do a Brick Level Backup but for obvious reasons would prefer not to.TIA for any direction!Here is the output of the log file.
