Setting the debug level on a NetBackup for SQL Server client
To control the amount of information that is written to the debug logs, change the Database debug level. Typically, the default value of 0 is sufficient. However, technical support may ask you to set the value higher to analyze a problem.
The debug logs are located in install_path\NetBackup\logs.
Information is also available about the Client Trace Level. See Setting the maximum trace level for NetBackup for SQL Server.
To set the debug level on a NetBackup for SQL Server client
- Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
- Select File > NetBackup Client Properties.
- Click the Troubleshooting tab.
- Set the General debug level.
- Set the Verbose debug level.
- Set the Database debug level.
- Click OK to save your changes.
