Veritas NetBackup™ Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide

Logging folders for Windows platforms

During a backup, Snapshot Client messages are written to the folders that are listed in See Table: Windows logging folders for backup. if the folders exist. You can use the following command to create these folders:

    install_path\NetBackup\logs\mklogdir.bat

The default path for the logs is the following:

    C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\logs

Since a different path can be set during installation, the paths that are listed in this topic are install_path\NetBackup\logs.

Note:

To create detailed logs, set the Global logging level to a high value, in the Logging dialog, under both Master Server Properties and Client Properties.

The log folders can eventually require a lot of disk space. Delete them when you are finished troubleshooting and set the logging level on master and client to a lower value.
