Well, you could use "eseutil /mh" and see what log files the database
thinks it needs.

Or you could enable circular logging and then reboot the server (or
dismount the databases in the storage group, stop and start the IS
service, and then remount the databases). Once things are working,
disable circular logging and repeat. Then make a backup of the storage
group right away.

There's no "flushing" to do. The information in the log files is, if
the database is in a consistent state when you dismount it, already
written to the database.

No, you don't want to leave circular logging enabled.
