Exchange Backups

Hello,
 
Does a full backup of the exchange information store flush the logs after a backup, as there is no option in the client properties for exchange.
 
If they are flushed after a backup how can I check this in Netbackup?
 
Thanks in advance.

    A full backup would; a copy backup would not.
     
    I'm not sure if you can in fact check this directly in netbackup, but there are ways I suppose.  For example you could look at the number of files backed up - do a full and a copy and compare the difference.  Or you could look at the transaction log directory and see the file list before/after a backup.  Or you could trust netbackup that if it exits with a "0" status that it in fact truncated the logs.
