Hi Rino19ny,

Here you go - this document should give you all you need to get that going:

DOCUMENTATION: How to enable logging to troubleshoot NetBackup for Microsoft SQL Server backup or restore issues:

Hope this helps,

thanks. is there a way for the master/media server to recognize changes in "bp.conf" without restarting the NBU processes?

Host Properties -> Clients -> (Select Client name) -> Logging

Change Global logging to 3. 

Ensure dbclient folder exists under ...\netbackup\logs on the client. Create folder if it does not exist.
No need to restart any processes/services.

The next SQL backup will create level 3 logs.

bprdreq -rereadconfig, although you don't need to do that when you're changing logging levels.

bprdreq only exists on master server and has no effect on client logs....
