Hi,
We have TDP for Exchange v2.2 and backup several Exchange 5.5 servers. Each night a Differential backup is run then a Full backup immediately afterward. If the Full backup fails part way through one night (communication problems or otherwise) the following nights Differential backup will fail with: Unable to perform an incremental backup because a required Microsoft Exchange database log file could not be found.
I realize that if a Full backup is successful it clears out the log files upon completion, but it looks like from what I'm seeing even if the Full backup fails it removes log files that in turn causes the next Differential backup to fail.
Does anyone know if this is true? If so, why are the log files being removed before the Full backup is determined to be "successful".
Scott.
