Veritas NetBackup™ Logging Reference Guide

Command-line logging

The command-line logs are as follows (on any master, media, or client server):

UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/nbcert

Windows: install path\netbackup\logs\nbcert

The nbcert log files log any nbcertcmd commands that run either manually or automatically from the application, such as during the automatic certificate renewal. When issues occur that can be reproduced using nbcertcmd, the bp.conf file or registry VERBOSE setting should be increased to 5 to troubleshoot the issue. To increase the logging level, use the following command:

echo VERBOSE = 5 | nbsetconfig
