I have a junior co-worker who rather than performing a manual backup of the
information store to flush the transaction logs and free up drive space, he
has simply been copying the logs to another drive for safe keeping. While on
call this week, I received an alert that drive space for this server was
limited and discovered there were a large number of Exchange transaction logs
in the MDBDATA folder. I performed an NT backup of the Information Store
which committed and flushed the trans logs freeing 25GB of space. Now I find
out that he has 33GB of trans logs stored on an external drive and he was
wondering what to do with them. Now, so am I. Are we screwed or is there
some graceful way to fix this?
