Simple trick to clear Exchange transaction log is to turn circular logging on and then off again. May not solve the problem but it's a quick way to get space back.

Dear experts, I'm using Veeam 9.5 to backup exchange 2016 server. It said that the log was truncated but when I checked on Mail server, they were not. Vssadmin list writers said that the Exchange writer is on Retryable state. Can you kindly suggest? <br />

Many thanks

Cannot truncate Exchange logs

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
