Use an Exchange-aware backup program daily and the log files will be automatically removed. If you are generating more log files than there is space within a 24h period, increase the available space.
Circular logging means that older log files are thrown away before being backed up, and in the event of a disaster recovery from a failure of database storage, you could not fully recover all messages received prior to the failure. Of course any such disaster recovery also depends on proper backups and separation of logs from database, which you may or may not have done or be doing.

Currently it is not enabled and I have read by enabling this option that it will prevent the overall number of log files that are stored on the server for Exchange. Is there any drawbacks to enabling this setting?
