Exchange Transaction logs grow while backup is running

Hopefully this is a pretty simple one, and apologies if asked and answered previously but I have hunted

 

While our Exchange backups are underway I notice the avaialble space in the Logs area goes down, obviously when it finishes the logs are cleared.  I'm just wondering what it is NetBackup is writing to the SG while the backup is in progress ?

 

thanks

Al

I don't think Netbackup is writing any-ting to Exchange databases

Transation logs are created as as new mail arrives in mailboxes (one example). Do they grow especially quick during backup ?

My feeling is this would be better directed at an Exchange forum as you are really asking about the mechanics / internals of what happens when you back up Exchange. I would imagine all backup products will behave in a similar manner when integrated with an app such as Exchange.
