I have an issue with a fairly new Exchange 2013 (SP1) setup. Currently 5 Exchange Mailbox servers all part of a DAG. After backups run successfully, logs are not being truncated. I use HP Data Protector 8.0 (fully patched) with VSS integration. The backups run successfully from the App point of view, no errors. However the logs do not truncate. I get 2 confusing entries in the App event log on the Exchange MB servers:
ESE 225: Information Store - DB1 (16632) DB1: No log files can be truncated.
ollowd by: MSExchangeRepl 2046: The Microsoft Exchange Replication service VSS Writer instance ac70fe72-4463-41a9-b47e-5c5e5d0c82a4 has successfully completed the backup of database 'DB1'.
Database log truncation has been requested for this database. Log truncation will occur on the active copy after the next log generation is created. Log truncation will occur automatically on the passive copies after that log file is copied.
No log files are truncated. This is backing up the ACTIVE copy of the DB.
When I manually run a backup via Windows Backup, I get the same results. No errors, ESE 225 and ESE 2046. Both ways I get a MSMQ 2230 event "A backup (components: registry, sysq, mapping, queue, storage) was completed successfully." and an ESE 2006 "Information Store - DB1 (16632) Shadow copy instance 15 completed successfully. " and MSExchangeRepl 2033 "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service VSS Writer (Instance 80e81897-81d9-489d-ab11-b9f08126d737) has successfully processed the backup completion event." and MSExchangeRepl 2037 "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service VSS Writer (Instance 80e81897-81d9-489d-ab11-b9f08126d737) backup has been successfully shut down."
This seems to be happening across all of my 2013 mailbox servers.
