Ok, I finally have this resolved. I enabled circular logging and restarted exchange. I then disabled circular logging again, and restarted exchange again. It now works fine. However, I defintely had restarted exchange in the past, as the server has been restarted a few times. I beleive that the circular logging was on by default, but the tick box was never ticked.

FYI, this was a brand new build of SBS2003 with Windows Updated at build date (10 June 2004), plus Exchange SP1 installed before trying to configure Exchange backups.

Thanks
Daniel
