Bking up exchange 2k logs

[Jacky_s]

 Can someone show me a step by step of how to use ntbackup
or veritas 9.0 to remove the log files in exchange 2000.  I've been doing an online backup with an incremental option.  So what do I do to regain space on my hard drive.  Thank you very much.

 Do a full backup of the IS and it will then flush the logs once it has completed successfully.

 what is IS mean? and will that solve my problem?

[Marksw · Accepted solution]

 IS means Information Store.
When you do a full backup of exhange 2000 information store it will flush the logs.
Also have you got circular logging turned on or off?  Go into properties of the storage group, it will tell you there.
If you have circualr logging, there will be no logs to flush as it will continually overwrite the 2 logs there.

...to backup the Information Store, you need the agent. Don't forget to load that, and don't use AOFO or you might find that your logs don't clear.
