It will continue to fail unless you use the eseutil /mk (sorry you will need to
review the help on this) to find the last committed log file and then you are
able to delete it and all the logs before the noted file. You probably can not
back it up because you have no room.
Mark is certainly a much better Exchange admin (as are 99% of the others out
here on this list) so I am sure his advice is sound. However I had the same
problem last week and spoke to Microsoft about it (I had 155 Gigs of log - yeah
I am a dumb ass). Once I used the eseutil I was able to delete to the point
where I have 144 Gig available now - I had less that 250MB. Microsoft also made
the point of asserting I NOT turn circular logging on (but again Mark's
suggestion appears completely sound) - but maybe they meant permanently.
I do not want to appear that I am in any way disagreeing with anyone else on
the list. I was just happy to be able to post - I am usually beggar :o)

If you system is running OK at the moment, I would recommend turning on
circular logging and let it flush the logs, then make a good backup and then
disable circular logging, you might want to consider purchasing an extra HD
just for the log files.

Thanks for the reply.
I understand that I need to backup to remove the logs. But my problem is
the backup is failing because there is no diskspace. Most of the space is
being taken up by uncommitted logs from yesterday and today. So my question
is, what is the worst case scenario if I just delete these logs to free up
some space?

You need to do an exchange aware backup to remove the logs from mdbdata dir
- use the eseutil /mk (something like that) to find the committed log files
which can be deleted.
Win2k backup is Exchange aware.

We're having some serious diskspace issues with our exchange 2k box. All of
the viruses being quarantined are part of the problem. We also have a ton
of exchange logs that are sitting around. The problem is we don't have time
to run a backup before the disk fills up and the backup fails. Is it ok to
just delete the logs? I know this may affect backing up today, but we
really, really need to free up some space.
Any help would be great. Thanks
