Troubleshooting NetBackup for Oracle with Snapshot Client

Debug logs used for troubleshooting the problems that occur with NetBackup and NetBackup for Oracle have been discussed in previous areas. In addition to those logs, there are debug logs used for troubleshooting NetBackup for Oracle with Snapshot Client.

Snapshot Client backup and debug messages are written to the following subdirectories of:

Windows:

install_path\NetBackup\logs

UNIX:

/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/

The logs are as follows:

  • The bpbrm log is on the NetBackup media server.

  • The bptm/bpdm log is on the NetBackup media server.

  • The bpbkar log is on the NetBackup client and alternate client.

  • The bpfis log is on the NetBackup client and alternate client.

  • The bppfi log is on the NetBackup client or alternate client.

Snapshot Client restore and debug messages are written to the following subdirectories on the NetBackup master server:

  • The bprestore is almost always a client log on the NetBackup host that initiated the restore by using the bprestore command.

  • The bprd is on the NetBackup master server.

  • The bpbrm is on the NetBackup master server.

  • The bptm/bpdm is on the NetBackup media server. Both the tape and the disk backup log to bptm, disk backups also log to bpdm.

  • The tar is on the NetBackup client or redirected client.

Additional help for troubleshooting most installation and other issues is available in the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide.
