NetBackup debug logs and reports

The NetBackup server and client software let you enable detailed debugging logs. The information in these log files can help you troubleshoot the problems that occur outside of either the database agent or DB2 commands.

Note the following with regard to these logs:

  • These logs do not reveal the errors that occur when DB2 commands is running unless those errors also affect NetBackup. DB2 may (or may not) write errors in the application to the NetBackup logs. Your best sources for DB2 error information are the logs provided by DB2.

  • Generally, each debug log corresponds to a NetBackup process and executable.

More detailed information about the debug log files is available.

See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.

Also refer to the following file:

Windows:

install_path\NetBackup\logs\README.debug file

UNIX:

/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/README.debug file
