Hi

BEDS is used for enabling logging during backup and restore operation and that directory contain all the relevant logs to view for NBU

install_path\NetBackup\logs\beds

Thanks

thanks for reply. i'm interested in more info about it.because the logs directory always containing details,but BEDS all the time is empty directory.

BEDS = Backup Exec Data Store

Seems to be some code was ported over from Backup Exec to NetBackup for the purpose of database backups such as Exchange, Sharepoint.  If you are just doing filesystem backup there would be nothing in BEDS log directory.

It also mainly relates to clients - so if you do an exchange backup it would only usually log the BEDS logs on the client itself, not the Master or Media Servers

Hope this helps

It is there purely to write logs for any components in NetBackup that for processes that have been ported acrooss from Backup Exec - it is nothing special, just another logs folder really
