As to the performance problem: Are you using RAID? What's the stripe size?
STORE.EXE eats all your memory, that's the way things go. But that's a normal
Exchange behavior; it won't cause you any performance issues. As far as I know,
Exchange allocates all memory to itself and releases memory to other
applications as needed.
Are you using circular logging? Is the backup made with NTbackup?

Assunto: [exchangelist] Transaction Logs not automatically deleted when
performing full backup
Let me give you first the background of our system:
- 1 Exchange 2000 Server installed in Windows 2000
- PIII 1GHz dual processor
- 1GB Memory
- 3 Storage Groups
- 2 SCSI disks divided into 3 partitions
o Drive C - System, 10 GB (mirrored)
o Drive E - Where *.edb and *.stm are located (25 GB)
o Drive F - Where the transaction logs are located (25 GB)
- 3 storage groups
- 3 information stores in every storage group
- Drive E with 6 GB free space
- Drive f with 8 GB free space
- More or less 300 users with email
- About 100 Distribution groups
My questions are:
1. Some users are experiencing slow connection when accessing their
mailbox (they're getting requesting data ...). Before, the free space of drive
E was 1 GB but when I defragmented the information stores the free space became
6 GB, but the connection is still slow although it's now faster compared when I
haven't run defragmentation. I noticed when I checked Windows task manager
that STORE.EXE is actually eating up 800 MB of memory. Can this be the cause
of the problem? Are there any ways to optimize the memory? What else can I do
to solve the problem in slow connection?
2. I've read in some articles that full backup will automatically delete
old transaction logs. I've scheduled an online full backup of all the
information stores. I noticed that old transaction logs of 2 out of the 3
storage groups are not deleted automatically. As a temporary remedy, I
dismount the affected information stores and manually delete the logs. But
this arrangement is impractical and waste a lot of my time. How can I solve
this problem?
Thank you!
