Cheers Len.
It may be that a DIFF (that someone stated) probably does LOGS only. :-)
I do not have an Ex2k7 System here, but I can only go on what I know and
what I would recommend.

However, I would be unhappy with this.... the originator needs to verify
in the APPLICATION LOG where Exchange 2007 resides that its definetely
doing a FULL BACKUP and purging the logs (look for events that are
assocaited with the source "ESE" and the following type of Event ID's
during the start and end of a backup storage group....

EVENT ID 210, 220 and 221.

Also, be sure that no Anti Virus software is scanning your Exchange
folders while the backup is running. a file level anti virus on an
Exchange aware server is not good. This can actually create a ton of log
files!

If you have ANY DOUBTS, do an NTBACKUP of the Exchange Server - to a
flat file or a tape drive (depending on your setup).

NTBACKUP will do a full and purge the logs correctly. This will confirm
if NetBackup is not doing its job correctly.

A full backup should be good. There should be an option to do a full
backup with a purge of the log files vs a full backup copy without the
purge of the log files.
