Collecting Window client logs

Thomas_Anthony

Hello Forum Folks,

Is there a method to collect the backup logs from NB 6.x Windows clients (bpcd, bpbkar) from the Master ?

I don't have admin access to the Windows clients but do have admin permissions on the the NB 6.5.6 Master server.

Thanks,

Thomas

NAME
bpgetdebuglog - Run helper program for backuptrace and restoretrace.
Useful as a stand-alone program. Available for all NetBackup server platforms.
SYNOPSIS
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpgetdebuglogremote_machine
[remote_program mmddyy]
DESCRIPTION
If all three arguments are specified, bpgetdebuglog prints to standard output
the contents of the specified debug log file. If only remote_machine is specified,
bpgetdebuglog prints to standard output the number of seconds of clock
drift between the local machine and the remote machine. A positive number
means that the local machine is ahead of the remote machine. A negative
number means that the remote machine is ahead of the local machine.
The bpgetdebuglog command must be in the
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd directory in order for
backuptrace and restoretrace to use it.
You must have administrator privileges to run this command.
OPTIONS
Remote_machine
Name of the remote server
remote_program
Name of the debug log directory on the remote server
mmddyy
The day stamp that is used to identify the log file (log.mmddyy for UNIX,
mmddyy.log for Windows) to be read.
EXAMPLES
C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpgetdebuglog peon

Thomas,

Unfortunately you have to be on the client to get at the logs. There is no way through NetBackup to get at the logs remotely. If you have windows you could set-up a share to the logs or on Unix you could do the same (or use rcp to remote copy).

Hi Thomas,

Is your Netbackup Master on Windows or Unix?
