Exchange Cluster Continuous Replication Failed
We had an Exchange 2007 Mailbox server's storage drive fill up due to log files not being cleaned out due to the backup job failing (don't ask). After we deleted the unnecessary log files and got the store back online, we weren't able to get its CCR passive node to bring 3 of the 5 stores online. We ran "Update-StorageGroupCopy Event ID: 2059
It wouldn't make sense straight away, as the database on the active node was "up to date" and shouldn't need those log files. After some research, I found that this was a result of the failed backup process. When we deleted the log files on the active node, we'd broken the replay log process (as we'd deleted log files that were created after the last time the database was backed up).

Given that we're using a backup solution that backs up the databases from the passive node, I had to use NTBackup Utility to do a normal backup on the database. Once this completed I was able to use the Update-StorageGroupCopy command to get the database replication back to a healthy state. In theory this process should work on a Standby Continuous Replication
SCR cluster as well.
