Exchange 2003 and NT Backup - log files not being flushed
I have NTbackup running on Exchange 2003 and for the past little while even though we have circular logging disabled the logs keep building. I have seen some notes about checking to see if a log file is corrupt and fixing via ESEutil etc. but I am wondering if as a quick test and possible cleanup if I enable circular logging to create a new set of logs and then disable it might that do the trick of ridding us of this problem?

I don't want to have circular logging enabled for good just as means of perhaps fixing this problem - e.g. let it run to see if it works and then turning it off. I have additional backup of the Exchange server so it's not a matter that if mess up the NT Backup I will have no recourse. I am just wondering what the implications are of switching back and forth.

Thanks for the info.
you can use ntbackup to flush logs.
All you need to do is configure a normal backup and flush logs. see the guide below.
