Logging directories for UNIX platforms

backup messages are written to the directories that are shown in See Table: UNIX logging directories for backup., if the directories exist.

Note the following:

To create detailed log information, place a VERBOSE entry in the bp.conf file on the NetBackup master and client. Or set the Global logging level to a high value in the Logging dialog, under both Master Server Properties and Client Properties.
These directories can eventually require a lot of disk space. Delete them when you are finished troubleshooting and remove the VERBOSE option from the bp.conf file. Or reset the Global logging level to a lower value.
Messages pertaining to NAS_Snapshot can be found in the ndmp unified log (originator ID 151), in /usr/openv/logs.
The bpfis log directory contains the bpfis and ostfi (OST plug-in) logs.
