The Backup Exec Administration Console provides a view of the job logs in HTML format. If necessary, you can convert the job logs to a text format for use with vertical applications.

To convert a job log file to a text format, type the following at a command prompt from the default directory C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data, or wherever Backup Exec was installed to:

bemcmd -o31 -f"<pathname\job log filename>"

For example, to display the job log C:\program files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data\bex00001.xml in text format to the command prompt, you would type:

bemcmd -o31 -f"C:\program files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data\bex00001.xml"

To redirect the job log to a file, you would type one of the following:

bemcmd -o31 -f"C:\program files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data\bex00001.xml" > bex00001.txt

or

bemcmd -o31 -l"bex00001.txt" -f"C:\program files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data\bex00001.xml"
