BMR restore logs

The BMR restore process writes messages to restore logs on the master server if logging option is selected during Prepare-To-Restore step. Following is the location and naming convention for the log files:

/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bmrrst/client_name/log.mmddyy (UNIX)
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bmrrst\client_name\log.mmddyy (Windows)

On UNIX and Linux systems, the messages include external procedure begin and end messages (begin and end logging is not performed by the BMR restore process running on Windows systems).

Unlike BMR activity logs, the restore log files are text files.
