Can you perform a reseed after an incremental backup or MUST it be a Full?

This GENERALLY means that the last full back up of the database didn't purge logfiles, for whatever reason. That would be the first thing I check. According to MSFT, this "should never happen" and they recommend you open a case. In my experience, it's pretty common, and most people don't want to waste the time to open a case.

I'm getting an error "Required log XXXXX is missing from the active copy". Verbatim (but different server names): The required log file 4906 for FLMBXDB2\FTP-MAIL is missing on the active copy. If you removed the log file, please replace it. If the log file is lost, the database copy will need to be reseeded using Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy. All the solutions I've found so far indicate that I'm going to have to dismount the database, delete all unneeded log files, and then start it again. How can this be a solution? Whatever happened to Microsoft's notion of adding high availability after everything's configured, if I still need downtime?! Anyway, is there a more logical solution for this? Or, can someone help me understand why this is necessary?
