eseutil will not flush the logs, you have two options<br />
1. a full backup of the storage group<br />
2. enable circular logging, then disable<br />
<br />
if you enable circular logging without a backup there is the potential for data loss

Make sure you run NTBackup from the exchange server and choose the information store and not just the edb files. &nbsp;As long as the backup is successful it should truncate the log files. &nbsp;The exception is if you are running a ccr cluster and backing up the passive node. &nbsp;NTBackup does not support vss so that would not work.

So sounds like running a full backup tonight would be the best idea?

<div>
Yes, thanks endital1097. I should have been more clear on that. &nbsp;The incremental will work if there has been a full backup. &nbsp;It is usually easier to just run full backups and be done with it though unless they take significant time.

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
I am running ESxi server and hosting an exchange 07 on a virtual machine. &nbsp;Issue is that I have got 35gb of transaction log files. &nbsp;I am running Windows NT Backup every week and evidently the NT backup is not flushing these logs like a 3rd party solution would. &nbsp;Right now we dont have resources to buy any 3rd party product but would like to know how to flush these logs by hand. &nbsp;I heard the ESEUTIL might be able to do this. &nbsp;Want to know any alternative ways if any.
