Hi,
I am trying to run Windows Server backup for our exchange 2010 running on windows Server 2008 SP2.
I started the procedure by taking a custom backup for the exchange driver. It starts normally and it is running the Consistency check for Application Exchange. 24 hours passed and still at the same point.
I have two databases which are circular logging enabled and are present on one hard drive.
The logs are on another drive and the Exchange application is also on a separate drive.
So in the backup I am selecting the whole 3 drives.
As i know that the size of the log files make the consistency check run longer, but the size of the Exchange log files does not exceed 1 GB, My question is; Is the circular logging option causing the delay? Do I have to stop all the exchange services before running the backup?
May any one help me in clearing those doubts?
Thanks in advance
