Thanks. I think my confusion lies in the Exchange option being available regardless of the type of backup job being created. In any case, I have my solution and will be implementing it.

But when creating a differential job the options to do a full Exchange backup still exist, however it doesn't appear to function that way. Looks like I'll have to pull Exchange out into its own job each night. Roger From: Joseph L.

But according to Symantecs docs it appears as if it can flush on an incrmental if you ask it to. jlc ________________________________ From: René de Haas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 1:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup Exec & Exchange It will only flush the logs if you do a full backup of exchange. From: Roger Wright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 5:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup Exec & Exchange Backup Exec 12 I'm trying to do full backups of the Exchange stores each night, and have Exchange configured as one of several resources in my weekly Full job and nightly Differential job. In both jobs, I've set the Exchange parameters for a full backup and flushing the committed logs, however, I'm only seeing the logs get flushed as part of the weekly Full backup job. When the nightly Diff job runs, Exchange logs don't get flushed even though the Exchange parameters are set for that. Do I need to backup the Exchange stores as a separate Full job each night in order to flush the logs?
