Windows Server Backup of Microsoft Exchange 2010
hi there, i am trying to backup MS Exchange 2010 using Windows Server Backup in Windows Server 2008 R2.
It has now been running for 2 days and stuck on 'Running Consistency Check'.
There is, however, about 120GB of exchange log files.
Is there a way around this or a better way to backup Exchange 2010?

BTW: let me point out that deleting the log files is NOT a recommended option.

I agree with you. Let Exchange purge it automatically

Try running the backup of only Exchange 2010 Information Store by disabling the Consistency Check in the Exchange tab in the Backup job properties and then see if the job is still getting stuck in Consistency check status.

Exchange back-up started after leaving it to do its consistency check for a few days.
