[Veritas-bu] Log Files - .log files
What are the .log files (51216-163-99657920-080822-00.log) that are populating my \Netbackup\logs folder on my Windows media server? It looks like it's rolling over after 30 days or a month but they're taking up a lot of room. I delete them and they come back. What setting is creating those files?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Log Files - .log files
Welcome to the world of Unified Logging... so the quick answer is that for new Netbackup processes, rather than creating a directory for the process as in the legacy method, they now create log file(s) per process in this directory. These can be configured with the vxlogcfg command, but before attempting that, I would read the Netbackup Troubleshooting Guide for the latest release. There is a section specifically about the unified logs and how to properly delete, reduce in number, or change location of these files. Current version = ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/290230.pdf Look at page 82 What are the .log files (51216-163-99657920-080822-00.log) that are populating my \Netbackup\logs folder on my Windows media server?

These are the new format logs for netbackup. They are written up in the troubleshooting guide.
