Many thanks Del, I'll pass this on to our Exchange admin and get them to have a look at their end first ( rather than point the finger at TSM right away! ).

When a DP/Exchange backup completes successfully, it will tell the Exchange Server that it has stored the backup and that it can truncate the logs. At that point, the Exchange Server decides on the appropriate time to truncate the logs. I have seen this before. If a reboot does not solve it, you should get Microsoft involved. You are always welcome to open a PMR with IBM too. From my experience, if log truncation has been working, and then stops working, it usually is something in the Exchange Server that is "stuck" and needs attention from Microsoft support.
