Eric,

I am guessing you could run some sort of script that would
parse the output and recognize the particular error that is
displayed in this situtation, something like this:
  Unable to perform an incremental backup because a required
  Microsoft Exchange database log file could not be found.
and redrive the "full" backup if it is detected.
There is currently nothing built in to TDP for Exchange.

Thanks,

Del
