When the installation deployment, after two months, many netizens will find that the space of the C disk has dropped sharply. After the examination: the original / exchsrvr / mdbdata, there is a file similar to the exxxxxx.log, we know this is Log files, such log files We also call it a checkpoint file (CHK), and their feature is 5M, before about their roles and more information, you can see the Yinjie moderator's article "in-depth analysis of Exchange Server Storage and logs "

). How to handle these checkpoint files to get more disk space? Will you think of manually delete them? Nails suggest you don't have this kind of plan, why? The relationship between the checkpoint file and the EDB and STM database files in Yinjie has been described in detail. We recommend that the act is to develop a valid backup plan, back up the Exchange storage group, and achieve effective reduction of log files to get more disk space. Just doing this in this area today, so I will catch the process and hope to help everyone. 1. First let's see if there is no restore: a. My Exchane is installed in the C drive. It has now takes up 6.4G Space B. It turns out "/ ExchsrVR / MDBDATA", found that there are a lot of log files similar to Exxxxxx.log: 2. First we choose "attachment" - "Backup" on Windows Server (NTBACKUP), I choose to back up all the databases of "System Status" and Exchange's INFORMATION Store "storage group of Windows 200 Server. (If you only have to achieve the log file, you can only select all the databases of "Information Store" storage groups for Exchange. ") 3. OK you have to back up, let's start backing up: 4. Backup completion : 5. Let's go back and see, have you achieved a directory that reduces log files, empty disk space: From above, we see our purpose, the log file is automatically cleared, the space is empty About 3G. Of course, backup Exchange is not as simple as it, the nail is just easy to pass it. Come tell you how to effectively reduce the log file empty disk space. Yes, I forgot to tell you, sometimes Exchane's IS service can't start normally, because your big idea, the log file is too much, resulting in little disk space, is also a reason. . P.s: Because I just finished the backup work, I remember to write this process, rushing to get off work, some simple, if there is any problem, please go to the forum (
