You have to add "-vssfull" and put the path to the log files in the "-include"
parameter.
So
Wbadmin start backup -vssfull -include:d:,c:\program
files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\mailbox\
Depending on how you are calling wbadmin, that might take some fancy quoting to
get right.

Subject: Exchange 2010 backup using native tools
My google fu isn't working well today.
Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008 R2.
Drive C: System drive, and E2k transaction logs (in c:\program
files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\mailbox\xxxxx (where xxxxx is the mailbox
name)).
Drive D: EDB files
When I do a full backup (I use command line wbadmin with -include c:,d: ) the
files all get backed up, transaction logs are truncated, and everything appears
to work as expected. This runs weekly.
I'm trying to do a daily full backup of just the EDB files, which will also
truncate the log files. If I run wbadmin with -include d:, it just backs up the
EDB files, and does nothing with the transaction log files.
Should I move the transaction log files to d:? Would that fix my problem? I
don't think we get enough traffic through Exchange for this option to be a
performance problem. There is lots of space on D:, so that's not an issue
either.
Is there another alternative (not using 3rd party backup solutions)?
Thanks in advance.
