Downloading logs

When investigating a reported problem, Quest Technical Support might request you to provide the log dump from the NetVault Backup Server. You can generate the dump file by using the Download or Export method available on the View Logs page.

The Download method creates dump files on the local machine where the WebUI is running. This method is useful if you are accessing the server from a remote machine. The Export method creates the file on the NetVault Backup Server. For more information about this method, see Exporting logs.

The supported dump formats are text, binary, and database table dump. By default, the dump file includes all current logs. You can use the filter options to download log entries that meet the specified criteria. For instance, you can set filter options to display log entries for a specific period or a specific job ID number, and then download these entries to a dump file.

Click Download, and in the Confirm Download Logs dialog box, select the dump format:
Binary Log: Select this option to export the logs to a binary file (“.nlg”).
Text Log: Select this option to export the logs to a text file.
Database Table Dump: Select this option to export the logs to a PostgreSQL dump (pg_dump) file.

Click Download, and in the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
