ISSUE: Error Number 0xc800020e: An incremental backup cannot be performed when circular logging is enabled
  1. Product Version:
    Servosity Professional: All
    OS: Windows
  2. Problem Description:
    When performing a MS Exchange transaction log backup, the following error message is received in the backup report:

    Backup Logs
     No.  Type  Timestamp  Backup Logs
    1 Info YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm Start [ Windows platform (---), Servosity 5.x.x.x ]

    *  Error  YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm CExBackup::backupService:HrESEBackupSetup: Error Number 0xc800020e: An
    incremental backup cannot be performed when circular logging is enabled
  3. Cause:
    The message suggests that a transaction log backup cannot be performed if the corresponding information store has circular logging enabled.
  4. Resolution:
    To resolve the issue, please disable circular logging of the corresponding information store, and restart the "Microsoft Exchange Information Store" service afterward.

    Furthermore, please also perform a full MS Exchange server backup instead of transaction log backup straight after disabling circular logging. This would ensure that the data on server are all backed up properly.
