Thanks Jim
Definitely doing a full backup each night (flush committed logs). Have
inserted example of logs after NT backup. I have 2 storage groups - staff
and student- work at a school. There is only a backup of the students group
in the logs no mention of the staff storage group at all. So guess therein
lies the problem.
The staff group is definitely backing up though as I have restored numerous
times from these mailboxes
So maybe Microsoft can explain what happening?

Any problem that would be fixed by ISINTEG would not affect the purging of
transaction logs. I'll make a dumb suggestion, check and see that you
are running a "Normal" backup rather than a "Copy" backup. The copy
backup type does not flush logs. Also, are you selecting the entire
storage group? Or mailbox store by mailbox store?
Also, look through your event viewer after the backup and confirm that
each mailbox store was successfully backed up.
Here is a sample event. You should see one of these for EACH EDB and EACH
STM file.

Hi
I posted a message on this group a few weeks ago as my Exch 2003 server
will not purge the log files.
So after running info store only backups with BE9.1 and NT backup which
each completed successfully and talking to Veritas I still have 38Gb of
logfiles.
They recommend I call Microsoft. Before I do this I was thinking I'll run
an offline isinteg to check for corruption. Does this sound worthwhile?
Any gotchas with running this. only have 10gb of space left.
Are there any mailbox management processes etc I might need to configure
to instruct exchange to flush the logs? Or is this instruction builtin to
exchange once the backup program marks the logs for purging
Thanks
Andy
