Name

bpgetdebuglog — Run helper program for backuptrace and restoretrace. Prints out debug log file. Useful as a stand-alone program.

SYNOPSIS

bpgetdebuglog remote_machine [remote_program mmddyy [user_name|user_name@domain_name]]

On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

DESCRIPTION

If all arguments are specified, bpgetdebuglog prints the contents of the specified debug log file to standard output. If only remote_machine is specified, bpgetdebuglog prints to standard output the number of seconds of clock drift between the local computer and the remote machine. A positive number means that the local computer is ahead of the remote machine. A negative number means that the remote machine is ahead of the local computer.

If the user_name option is specified, the command fetches only those log files which are appended with the specified user name. On Windows platforms, the command input format requires username along with the machine or domain name (user_name@domain_name). For the log folders that do not have read-access granted, the command returns a Permission Denied error.

The bpgetdebuglog command must be in the specified directory (see SYNOPSIS) for backuptrace and restoretrace to use it.

You must have administrator privileges to run this command.
