I have a MS Exchange 2003 Standard SP2 running on WIN2k SP4 server
and recently I noticed that are about 50gigs of logs in the
MDBDATA folder, I did some research and found that doing a full
back up by using ntbackup.exe would clear the logs. I tried that
and the logs are still there and I know you can't just delete them.
I also found circular logging but a lot of people are against that
is there a reason not to enbale circular logging so that you don't
run out of space? Any advice / help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!
