Unfortunately, i have inherited this system - all log files for all
storage groups reside on same disk, hence the disk space running out
quick - the disk size incredibly is 36.4gb. We have appox 1500 users
mailboxes.

All I can say is 'WOW'..

At least once you've resolve the backup issue you can get down and design a
decent system.

Ok. I have moved the log files for troublesome store to the same drive
where the databases for this store reside (100gb+) and this has given
me some breathing space. Taking this into consideration, is it best to
proceed as suggested by Oliver? Thank you for help thus far.

No matter where your log files are you still need to get a working backup to
purge the log files.
If you have some breathing space then investigate further why you are not
able to backup this store in the storage group.
You could run eseutil /k against the suspect store just to check all the
checksums. If that comes up bad then there is no way you will be able to
back the store up. Then you need took at a move mailbox as soon as possible.

Hi,

Restart the information store server (or reboot) first to see if you can
then backup the db in question.

If not follow Simons advice and move the users into a new store
