Hi,
es we use a cluster, just a failover cluster.
We use exchange 2007.
We use Symantec backup Exec for Exchange backups.
But we still have so much log files

"just a failover cluster"
You are going to have to be more clear on that, because there are three types, all of which can be classified as a failover cluster.
Do the properties of the database show that a successful backup was done when you expect?

Ok I see, can you tell me how to find out which cluster is installed ?

Hi,
I have this cluster:
If the value is Shared, the Exchange Server 2007 cluster is a single copy cluster.
And now I have 3346 logfiles in my database folder.
How to chase them into the db ?

The logs should already be in the database - to reduce them you need to an Exchange aware backup. Therefore it is back to the original question - does the Exchange database show the backup has taken place?

I use BE2012 for the backup and the backup is always completed successfully.
All 3000 logfiles from last 3 days.

I make a full backup each week and Differential each day.
Do I need more incremental backup like for SQL DB's ?

where do I see this in Exchange ?
ASKER
OK I found it:
The last backup was 1.2.2014. It was the last full backup.
And there is no incremental backup.
But is it normal to have 3000 log files for exchange ?

as I told you, the logfiles not old, just after the full backup.
What do you think about circular logging ?

ok I understand.
Just one last question, with incremental each day, do I also reduce the ammount of log files ?
Or just Full backup does it ?

ok master, thanks a lot.
As already stated, a backup should flush the logs.
You said you are using a cluster, but are on Exchange 2007. Which type are you using? SCC, CCR, SCR?
