Whats is Called Loose Truncation ? in Exchange 2013 Sp1

Lets make this simple ,

Normally if one Database copy goes offline in one of the DAG Members, Logs are not Truncated in all the databases copies , Which waits for the other failed copy to come back , so that other copies can help the failed copy to re sync the logs

But this situation doesn’t help admins all the time , Lets say I have a four node DAG , if I have one failed copy – logs stops truncating  . Disks get filled up , Which stresses the admins to remove the copy and reseed later

Exchange 2013 Sp1 introduces a new feature called loose truncation  – To avoid this situation

Loose Truncation is an optional feature in Exchange 2013 DAG – if loose truncation  is enabled ,  Where database copies will check their own disk space , if disk space gets low , All the databases copies will truncate logs independently

Now when the failed copies comes back – It cannot re sync as logs have been deleted , Two options to overcome or fix the failed copy  – Enable Auto reseed or Update the database manually
