Hello all
Exchange 2003 sp2 our backup hasnt run for a couple of days and the
transaction logs are now wfilling up the drive, i am moving these
logs to a different drive, but my question is once i get my backup
working and get a good backup of the information store, can i delete
the transaction logs that i moved ?

Thanks

Do not move or delete the files. If you are having problems with your
current backup device, use another one, or do an NTBackup job to file
somewhere (online Exchange backup).
