By default, in Exchange Server, when an application backup is executed and successful, the system will automatically purge the unneeded transaction logs from the database, thus freeing up some space. If your backup is not purging the logs, this means that the transaction logs will never be purged and end up filling up your storage to the bin, ending up with no incoming or outgoing emails and users will be unable to save anything in their databases or public folders. This could also lead up to data corruption. A big number of transaction logs are generated during the day. Transaction logs are important for the health of the database as these hold temporary data and are used as a buffer between the Exchange Server database and the users to keep the database healthy and perform well.<\/p><p>An easy way to solve the storage issue would be to take a backup. If there is no space, the only alternative is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/how-to-enable-circular-logging-in-exchange-server-2010\/\">enable circular logging<\/a> to truncate the logs and re-enable them again.
