About Microsoft Exchange Server Transaction Log Files
Microsoft Exchange Server saves data to transaction log files before it commits it to the database. Transaction log files can be used as a disaster recovery method if Exchange databases become corrupted or fail. But if they're not managed and stored properly, transaction logs can burden disk I/O and quickly eat up hard drive space. These tips and tutorials will teach you how properly store, back up, move, delete and recover Exchange Server transaction logs.
