I've been having issues with storage space and after doing some research I noticed a lot of log files in the Exchange folder (~5.5GB). After talking with our support company, they recommended that I turn on Circular logging and this would help with the storage space issue some.
The question that I have is about back/recovery. We use Backup Exec 12.5 as our backup software and I know there are some mixed opinions on it. To keep a long question short, if something were to happen to Exchange, would the backups made through backup exec be enough to recover from?
I'll have to double check but if I remember properly the backup job is checked under all resources/(server name)/Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes as well as Microsoft Exchange Public Folders. The backup files are *.bfk file extension
I'm not sure if this picture helps my question at all, especially about the log files. I took a screen shot a short while ago when I was trying to document some stuff for questions I had for the support company.
Here's the link to the photo http://i.imgur.com/Bqg7h.jpg Should the old transactions logs be flushed if I'm reading the responses correctly and from what I've seen in the screen shot?
Also would an error prevent the logs from being deleted? There is one email in one person's account that can't verify and backup exec gives a failure code of 0xe00002f5 I really hate asking such banal questions but I'm sort of new to Exchange and am taking less than baby steps as to not screw something up.
