How to correctly delete MS Exchange transaction logs?

Question

Mail server

Good day.
I am starting my acquaintance with MS Exchange 2019. Accordingly, for the first time I came across the Esse database and its transaction logs. Google, Technet Microsoft, manuals and guides say that after creating a full backup, transaction logs are deleted automatically.
1) MS Exchange 2019 is deployed on an ESXi virtual machine, and this machine is backed up at the hypervisor level by Veeam B&R. After this copy, the logs remain in place.
2) Installed and configured Windows Server Backup, performed a full backup - the logs remained.
Can you please tell me what I'm missing and doing wrong?

Answer 1

We read about setting up WSB. Custom archiving is used, i.e. you need to copy only the volume with the base (although you can turn on the system as well). Log deletion setting in "Advanced Options" - "VSS Options". Select full backup. There is a nuance - if there are a lot of logs, the load is high, and the disk system is so-so, then the process of creating a shadow copy can take almost forever, and the mailer will be stupid in a terrible way. Treated by turning on the cyclic log. After the logs collapsed, the full logging mode and backup are back. But the base must be unmounted and mounted when switching the mode.

Answer 2

Everything the guides say is correct. It is necessary to bekapit base of Ekschendzha. Veeam B&R for Exchange is hardly free.
Regarding Windows Server Backup -> in theory it should, if, again, MS can cut out backup ekschi from servers, you need to check it.
PS
You don't need a full backup, you just need a backup of the Exchange databases - so that WSB sends the ESE database engine a backup is made - to trunk the logs.
PPS
In a test environment, you can use Circular logging

Answer 3

Read man . You need to additionally configure the backup to interact with the application.

Answer 4

Make a backup of the mail database, and not full of the standard WSB.
