About legacy logging
In NetBackup legacy debug logging, a process creates log files of debug activity in its own logging directory. By default, NetBackup creates only a subset of logging directories, in the following locations:
Windows | install_path\NetBackup\logs install_path\Volmgr\debug |
UNIX | /usr/openv/netbackup/logs /usr/openv/volmgr/debug |
To use legacy logging, a log file directory must exist for a process. If the directory is not created by default, you can use the Logging Assistant or the mklogdir batch files to create the directories. Or, you can manually create the directories. When logging is enabled for a process, a log file is created when the process begins. Each log file grows to a certain size before the NetBackup process closes it and creates a new log file.
You can use the following batch files to create all of the log directories:
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\Logs\mklogdir.bat
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/mklogdir
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for a complete description about the mklogdir command.
