In the new SBS 2011. The Exchange Server Data has grown to almost all of the disk space available. New Server only up and running one week. I am Assuming it is from some log files growing out of control. How can this be corrected and controlled. How Do You Set the Maximum Exchange Server Data so it does not grow out of control. It has gone from 10 Gig to 777 Gig in one week. I have no more available data disk space because of the Exchange Server Data Size. Thank You.

HI, It could be log drive and DB also as log size growth directly impact to DB size (Its commit). Here you need to check if any specific client doing some abnormal behaviour and generating huge trabsaction. To check this you can use EXmon to monitor tranaction of clients. For now, yopu need to safly dismount DB and mount again, and then remove log files in other place so you can make some space till troubleshooting time.

By running an Exchange-aware backup, most of the transaction log files are removed, thus freeing up your lost space. This can de done with the integrated SBS 2011 Backup.
