How to enable debug logging
To enable debug logging for standard backup operations, you need to create directories on the client system. The following tables give information about the type of directories that are required.
Table: List of the directories to create and capture back up, restore, and snapshot data lists the directories to create and capture back up, restore, and snapshot data.
Table: Lists the directories to create and capture back up, restore, and snapshot data on the NetBackup media server lists the Windows Event Logs to create on the NetBackup media server.
Table: Lists the VxUL logs for NetBackup Policy Execution Manager and NetBackup Job Manager lists the Windows Event Logs to create on the NetBackup master server.

Directories to create | Data logged |
|---|---|
All backups | |

Enterprise Vault configuration discovery, Enterprise Vault [un]quiescence | |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpfis C:\Program Files\Common Files\Veritas Shared\VxFI\4\Logs | Snapshot information See the VxFI Administrator's Guide on the Veritas support site. |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\nbwin | |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\AltPath | Alternate restore information |
Table: Lists the directories to create and capture back up, restore, and snapshot data on the NetBackup media server
Directories to create | Enterprise Vault operation information |
|---|---|
install_path\Netbackup\logs\bpbrm (Windows) | Back up and Restore Manager |
usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbrm(UNIX) | Back up and Restore Manager |
Table: Lists the VxUL logs for NetBackup Policy Execution Manager and NetBackup Job Manager
Directories to create | Enterprise Vault operation information |
|---|---|
install_path\Netbackup\logs (Windows) | NetBackup Job Manager |
usr/openv/netbackup/logs(UNIX) Refer to the "Unified logging" topic in the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide. | NetBackup Policy Execution Manager |
After you create these directories all debug logging information is placed in the separate files that are created on a date basis.
