Just to close the loop. . .the full backup I started finished eventually and successfully cleaned up the logs. Everything is good to go now – I will wait to see how the incremental backup goes tomorrow.

( you need to dismount IS and mount it back for CL to be on and off), this will give you plenty of time to troubleshoot the backup issues and find out what isn't happening right. ocd On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 7:58 AM, Jeff Poling <jpol...@moody.edu<mailto:jpol...@moody.edu>> wrote: We are having issues with our backup solution currently. For exchange, that means a database backup is not occurring properly and log files are not being deleted. I am watching the disk space closely, but if the problem continues much longer I am going to be extremely close to running out of disk space for the logs. What is the best option in this case? I could: 1. Add disk space (it is a virtual machine so that process would be seamless and easy, but I would not be able to reclaim the space once the crisis is over) 2. Enable circular logging 3. Something else? Any insight is greatly appreciated Thanks! Jeff Jeffrey Poling System Administrator | Information Systems Moody Bible Institute 820 N.
