I have 2 Exchange servers each located at different sites but they share a DACL. (100Mb connection between sites)
I have 2 issues I need help with:
First and foremost I need to clear the log files on both servers
Unable to perform backup on my primary server
I am having a difficult time running a backup on the "primary unit" and my log files are growing quickly. I currently have 18% free space on the Exchange partition, Below is the error I am getting during backup I have rebooted several times with no affect, I also had the same error a few days ago but after a reboot it went away and I was able to kick off the backup job, however about half way through the job I noticed my free space on my Exchange partition was getting critically low so I stopped the job and increase the drive size.
Below is the error I am getting when trying to run a backup.
"The backup operation that started at '2015-04-23T18:02:58.274000000Z' has failed because the Volume Shadow Copy Service operation to create a shadow copy of the volumes being backed up failed with following error code '2155348129'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved."
