Restore log file

Management wants to know what exactly is being restored for each priority restore.  For instance, we restored a directory and want to find out all the files/folders under this directory that were restored.  Just want to ensure I have the correct way to get this info from the logs for future restores.

Is this info from the master logs or client?  I know on the master I have read on other posts to grab it from the bpbkar log directory (verbose L5).  Or on the client, create these 3 logs: bpinetd, bpcd, and tar, but this seems to capture connection logs.

Steps before restore:

Ensure the bpbkar directory is created

Turn logging up to L5

Begin restore

Turn logging down after restore completes

 

Let me know if I have something wrong.

Thanks

    Verbose L5 of client tar log will capture files/folders being restored. bpbkar log is for backups. Another log that may give required info is user_ops logs on the server/console where restore is initiated from.

    Great!  So, if the restore is initiated on the master server, the "user_ops" logs on the master would have the info?  Does this also require L5 verbosity?  If so, it sounds like creating the "tar" log on the client before the restore is a little safer and more direct.

     

    Steps before restore:

    Ensure the tar directory is created on the restore destination client

    Turn logging up to L5 on destination client

    Begin restore, restore completes

    Examine log and turn logging down
