Is there a way to manually or command line or some other method of forcing Exchange 2003 to truncate/checkpoint LOGs. &nbsp;I'm trying to reduce the number of log files but I not sure how to do this. &nbsp;I know that a full backup of exchange would do this but does that require a backup software such as Tivoli from IBM. &nbsp; The system went down so i had to move my log location to a bigger drive but I don't want that filling up soon.<br />
