About the track logs for accelerator
NetBackup accelerator uses track log to detect the new, change, and modify files in the subsequent Full and Increment backups. The track log is a binary file that you should not attempt to edit. For D-NAS policy each backup stream maintains its own track log. The number of backup streams depends on the policy attribute .
Track log location on the backup host:
Windows:
Install_path\NetBackup\track\master_server\storage_server\client\policy_name\backup selection\S1\
Linux:
Install_path/netBackup/track/master_server/storage_server/client/policy_name/backup_selection/S1/
Track log location on the primary server:

Linux:
Install_path/NetBackup/db/track/master_server/storage_server/client/policy_name/backup_selection/S1/
Where S1, S2… Sn are the number of streams.
