Hi, Take a full backup & then enable circular logging, have a look into this KB : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb331968(EXCHG.80).aspx & this article : http://www.msexchange.org/articles/Exchange-log-disk-full.htmlRipu Daman Mina | MCSE 2003 & MCSA Messaging

I would ensure that full backups are performed daily and online maintenance are being performed on the DBs. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998870%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676537%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx

Hi Jacky, Why do you want to flush the exchange 2007 transaction logs without fully backup? Based on my experience, only full backup and differential backup will delete the logs. Circular logging is not designed for truncating log, we don't recommend you flush the log by this way. Here is a related articles for you: Database Backup and Restore http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124515(EXCHG.80).aspx Best Regards, EvanPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Yes i also having the same problem before, my only option is to stop all of the Exchange service and then move the log files into the newly added drive with bigger capacity while maintaining the drive letter, then start the services again. But of course it cause long downtime for the email service./* Server Support Specialist */
