Change log file location

[benny_snickars]

 Is it possible to change the location of the log files (BE*.txt)from what seems to be the standard, i.e backexec\data.
I've searched through help and all the options but can't seem to find out how to do it or even if it can be done.

The purpose is to store them all in a central location for further analysis. We had an issue recently whereby one of our undocumented Windows backup servers died and we had no idea which shares were being backed up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

We can change the Logs location for Backup Exec:

 Dev is correct, If you are using BE11d or above it can be changed using BEUtility. On versions before 11d, it cannot be done.

 Thanks Dav / Andy,
Unfortunately we have a much older version.
Cheers for the info.

Sure it can.  Not from BEUtil, but from the console itself

 Hi,

There is an option to change the catalog path, but there is no option available to change the job log path under Job Logs tab. I'm using BE8.6
