If I’m using more than that on a drive, it means that the backup hasn’t run and the logs haven’t been removed. Do that for each of your servers. Not sure if this is will help or is what you’re looking for, but it’s what I use.

Anyone have something they are proud of that confirms backup/log file removal for multiple exchange servers? FE/BE setup with 3 mailbox servers, all running E2k3, W2K3 servers. All standard versions. (probably has to be free for me to be able to use it). Thanks for any help/suggestions. -- Sherry Abercrombie "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C.
