Nope, I have three, and they're all mounted all of the time. Except for when the log file partition runs out of disk space and it all falls over of course :o) Joel. -----Original Message----- From: Marc Mearns [mailto:Marc.Mearns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 May 2002 17:31 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Backup doesn't Flush Logs http://www.MSExchange.org/ Joel Have you got any and of your databases dismounted in your storage group?

That'll cause your logs to fill up in a hurry. Matt -----Original Message----- From: Joel Mansford [mailto:Joel.Mansford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 10:15 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Backup doesn't Flush Logs http://www.MSExchange.org/ I use Veritas Backup Exec v8.5 (with exch2k agent) to back up my Exchange 2000 Server (SP2). I have a problem in that the log files don't flush when I perform a full backup. I contact Veritas who said I should try a Windows Backup, again the log files don't flush on a full backup. I moved the contents of the MDBDATA folder following MS instructions to give the following. All moves appear fine as new logs go into the correct partition. However they fill the partition every fortnight or so. C:(8GB) - System Drive, Exchange installed in C:\Program Files\ExchSrvr D:(4GB) - AD, DFS Roots E:(10Gb) - IS Logs file (*.log that is usually in MDBDATA) F:(30Gb) - Information Store Files (priv1.edb etc.etc.) I don't want to enable Circular Logging. And I've even tried adding a policy which flushes log files older than 7 days, but doesn't seem to do anything. The machine is also a DC. Any ideas? Cheers, Joel Mansford.
