Logs will be purged with a STATUS 0 - anything higher will mean the logs
remain.
 
So you will need to try and identify what has happened or been skipped.
 
Ideally, you should be doing a DB backup for the logs to be purged.
 
Maybe you could try not doing Mailbox Backups (Brick level backups). Not
only is this time consuming, but Exchange 2003 offers features to allow to
recover mailboxes if they are removed / deleted.
 
Take a read of this for more info.... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823176

Also, as a test, could you use NTBACKUP to perform a DB Backup of Exchange
to prove its nothing to do with NetBackup?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exchange 2003 logs during Backups.


Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me on this issue. Currently I am running
FULL backups daily on my Exchange servers.

The servers are clustered. I am backing up the Mailbox and Information store
as well as brick-level backups for a number of individual mailboxes. My
understanding is that the logs were to be deleted when the backup is
successful. Two things - if the backup is a "partial success (1)" should it
remove the logs as well? Secondly, the logs are not being deleted as I
thought they should - is it because of the brick-level backups of the
individual mailboxes? Should I set up a separate policy for that? 

Thanks in advance
