    if you mean the Exchange logs are not being truncated then you may need to look at the event logs (on all nodes of the DAG) to see if there are  any erros. Backup Exec will have performed the type of backup operation that shoud truncate the logs so why they have not truncated is probably an Exchange issue more than a Backup Exec issue. Which also means you may need to check with Microsoft once you have identified the event log errors (if found)

    BE will snapshot the application via VSS and back it all up. Once it has, the logs get committed. Just make sure that AOFO isn't turned on as this can affect how logs are cleared. If you need to use AOFO and you're backing up files and folders with Exchange, then split the jobs out.

    Thanks!

    * Configure the backup job using a DAG, as you have moved the mailbox on dag (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000076124)

    * Create a sheduled full backup for DAG with AOFO Disabled, Verify the backups are successfull 

    * compare the timestamp on the mailbox database with the backup job time

    * check event veiwer for any replicaton errors

    * if the timestamps are updated on the mailbox db, you may also compare the results with running windows server backup. 

    * If the windows server backups are sucessfull and still the logs are cleared  you may restart Microsoft Exchange Server Extension for Windows Server Backup service to check the result.

    * If the issue still persits, please update the replication event errors (as this can give us further clue)
