Exchange 2016 Backup

[ansarvm]

Hi, We have created a daily incremental backup job for our Exchange 2016 servers. I would like to configure this job like, this job will truncate exchange logs every 7 days not daily after full backup. Is it possible?
Anybody please help.

You have to configure two backup jobs.
One job will run once in a week with Log truncation.
And one Job which runs daily with Log copy only.

There is no feature todo this in a single job.

I am curious, why do you want to do it that way?

Hi Milder,
Thanks for your reply.
So i need to create a full backup weekly job for exchange and enable application aware processing to truncate the logs in weekly backup job. right?
Hi Andreas,
We need at least 7 days logs and after that it can truncate. We have 2 Exchange 2016 server with DAG configured.

Yes, 2 jobs. One with "Copy only processing" and one with "Log Truncation" enabled.
