Enabling debug logs

Enable Debug Logs lets you activate Backup Exec debug routines for a variety of Backup Exec services. In addition, Enable Debug Logs also creates debug log files that are stored on a Backup Exec server hard drive.

You should only use Enable Debug Logs when Technical Support needs specific information about your Backup Exec installation. Activating debug logging greatly affects Backup Exec server performance.

In a default installation, Backup Exec log files reside in the Logs directory, in the following path:

<Backup Exec install path>\Backup Exec\Logs

If you install Backup Exec to a different path, use that path instead.

To use the Enable debug logs task

  1. Select a Backup Exec server from either a Backup Exec server group or from All Backup Exec Servers.
  2. In the task pane, under General Tasks, click Enable Debug Logs.
  3. Set the appropriate options.

    See Enable debug log configuration options.

  4. Complete the debug log configuration options as directed by technical support.
