About robust logging
Robust logging indicates to NetBackup to limit the amount of disk space that a log directory consumes. When a log file grows to the specified maximum size, the log file is closed and a new log file is opened. If the new log file causes the maximum number of log files in the directory to be exceeded, the oldest log file is deleted.
Robust logging functionality comprises the following configuration parameters:
MAX_LOGFILE_SIZE | This configuration parameter specifies the maximum size that you want to set for a log file in MB. The default value for MAX_LOGFILE_SIZE is 500 MB. See MAX_LOGFILE_SIZE option for NetBackup servers and clients for legacy logging. |
MAX_NUM_LOGFILES | This configuration parameter specifies the maximum number of log files that you want to be created in NetBackup. The default value for MAX_NUM_LOGFILES is 0 infinite. See MAX_NUM_LOGFILES option for NetBackup servers and clients for legacy logging. |
