    NetBackup stores log files for 28 days by default and is controlled by the Clean-up setting in Master Server Host Properties.

    Some of our customers have backup policies to backup the logs. When they need to have a look at older logs, they just restore the logs to a temp folder.

    If backups in your company need to be kept for 2 years or longer and your retention levels are set up correctly, you can show the Auditors the Client Backup report. Just select appropriate dates.
