New in 7.7: The NETBACKUP LOGGING GUIDE!
One of the cooler things to come with our NetBackup 7.7 release is a brand new manual called the Logging Reference Guide - 155 pages of (hopefully) EVERYTHING you would need to know about how NetBackup logs, what logs, what logs WHERE, and how to use logs to troubleshoot your issues as well as what support's gonna ask you for if you end up opening a case with US. Our super Technical Publications team sought a lot of Engineering AND Support input to help make this manual the best it could be. Put this one on your summer reading list!
