Losing space on my Hard Drive

[bluetech05]

Heres the background info first. I have a mirror setup currently. I have 2 39gig drives for server and exchange and 2 79gig drives for Data. My data drives are fine for space but in the last 2 weeks I have lost 1 gig of space on my smaller harddrives. I have ruled out the following: Its not a virus, and it not from any recent updates or upgrades. I can't figure it out but we had 10.9 gigs free last week and now are down to about 9.5 gigs free. ANY ideas?? I've even looked through the the C drive for anything out of the ordanary.

Thanks in advance

LAW FIRM!!!! Do not enable circluar logging!!!! They will need to be able to restore every piece of mail on that system, regardless of the last system backup.

When circular logging is disabled, transaction log files accumulate on the disk until a full or incremental backup is performed. "After this, the log files that have all transactions committed to the database are deleted."

This is exactly correct.

Do what 58sniper is suggesting, Get the Exchange backup agent...

I would suggest using the built in NTBackup tool to backup the information store - that should clear the Exchange logs.

In addition, make sure Volume Shadow copy is not using space on the drives.

I have also found this problem with BUE 10d at three sites I manage. I have had to use NT Backup to delete the log files. I think there is a problem with the 10d version but Symantec isn't admitting to it. I'm still not sure how to correct this within BUE.
