make sureyou have remoe Access in the networker Group for System@node1, System@node2 in order to enable vss to make remote calls !

There are some more Setting to follow for Security, user doing the Backup ( example: nmmbackupuser ) should be in networkers app admin list.

Follow each step in the NMM Guide is Important

for reference, use my labbuildr unleashed, Video #2

Hi johnrio1

First of all, despite what HyperV_Guy said, I would first check your Application and System event logs, as in fact is Exchange whi truncates the logs, and NOT NMM.

NMM just passes the information (and sets the flag) in the DB as backup completed, then is up to Exchange, depending on the replication status to either truncate the logs or not.

Check Application, system and Exchange logs in case there is some issue with the replication.

Thank you,

Carlos

Then you shoul check out my blog posting:

Thanks Carlos and Hyper-v Guy

I does seem that the logs are purging at different points of the day but there are not events n the event log about them being purged

I will keep on looking to verify that this is normal behaviour

Hi johnrio1

Is this problem solved?

If so please feel free to mark the question as answered marking the answer you think it helped as correct.

Thank you,

Carlos

I am keeping an eye on it - log files are getting deleted although there is nothing in the event viewer but it think it is a lack of information from the Microsoft side rather than networker

many thanks for you help
