Enabling the debug logging for NetBackup for SharePoint manually

To turn on debug logging, create the log directories in the following location:

install_path\Netbackup\logs

Create the following log directories on the SQL Server, the front-end Web server, the media server, and the master server:

beds

SharePoint managed code in the SharePoint front-end server

bpbkar

all backups

bpfis

Snapshot backups

bppfi

(Pre-6.5.4 backup images) SharePoint individual item restore using Granular Recovery Technology (GRT)

bpresolver

all backups and restores

bpbrm

all restores

bprd

all restores

ncf

SharePoint individual item restore using GRT

ncf uses unified logging.

ncflbc

SharePoint individual item restore using GRT

This log is for nblbc.exe.

ncfgre

This log is for nbgre.exe.

nbfsd

spps

spsv2ra

tar

all restores

After you create these directories and perform a backup or restore, debug logging information is placed in a subdirectory that has the name of the process directory. For legacy logging, the file is named mmddyy.log. For unified logging, the log file is in a format that is standardized across Symantec products. To view the logs that use unified logging, use lv.exe or vxlogview.

For more information about unified logging, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide. For information on how to use the log commands, see the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.
