UNIX client processes that use legacy logging

Many UNIX client processes use legacy logging. To enable legacy debug logging on UNIX clients, create the appropriate subdirectories in the following directory.

You can use the following batch file to create all of the debug log directories at once:

Windows	install_path\NetBackup\Logs\mklogdir.bat
UNIX	/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/mklogdir

Table: UNIX client processes that use legacy logging

Directory	Associated process
bp	Menu driven client-user interface program.
bparchive	Archive program. Also useful for debugging bp.
bpbackup	Backup program. Also useful for debugging bp.
bpbkar	Program that is used to generate backup images.
bpcd	NetBackup client daemon or manager.
bpclimagelist	Command-line utility that produces a status report on client NetBackup images or removable media.
bpclntcmd	Command-line utility on the clients that test NetBackup system functionality and enables Fibre Transport services.
bphdb	Program that starts a script to back up a database on a NetBackup database agent client. See the system administrator's guide for the appropriate NetBackup database agent for more information.
bpjava-msvc	The NetBackup Java application server authentication service that inetd starts during the startup of the NetBackup Java interface applications. This program authenticates the user that started the application.
bpjava-usvc	The NetBackup program that bpjava-msvc starts upon successful logon through the logon dialog box that is presented when a NetBackup Java Backup, Archive, and Restore (BAR) interface is started. This program services all requests from the Java user interfaces on the host where bpjava-msvc is running.
bplist	Program that lists backed up and archived files. Also useful to debug bp.
bpmount	Program that determines the local mount points and wildcard expansion for multiple data streams.
bporaexp	Command-line program on clients to export Oracle data in XML format. Communicates with bprd on the server.
bporaexp64	64-bit command-line program on clients to export Oracle data in XML format. Communicates with bprd on the server.
bporaimp	Command-line program on clients to import Oracle data in XML format. Communicates with bprd on the server.
bporaimp64	64-bit command-line program on clients to import Oracle data in XML format. Communicates with bprd on the server.
bprestore	Restore program. Also useful for debugging bp.
bptestnetconn	Tests and analyzes DNS and connectivity problems with any specified list of hosts, including the server list in the NetBackup configuration.
db_log	For more information on these logs, see the NetBackup guide for the database-extension product that you use.
mtfrd	These logs have information about the mtfrd process that is used for phase 2 imports and restores of the Backup Exec media.
tar	nbtar processing during restores.
user_ops	The user_ops directory is created during the install of NetBackup on all servers and clients. The NetBackup Java interface programs use this directory for temporary files and for job and progress log files that the Backup, Archive, and Restore program (jbpSA) generates. This directory must exist for successful operation of any of the Java programs and must have public read, write, and run permissions. This directory contains a directory for every user that uses the Java programs. In addition, on NetBackup Java capable platforms, the NetBackup Java interface log files are written in a subdirectory that is called nbjlogs. All of the files that are in the user_ops directory hierarchy are removed according to the setting of the KEEP_LOGS_DAYS configuration option.
