Enabling tracing

Diagnostic tracing is disabled by default. When investigating a problem, Quest Technical Support might ask you to enable tracing on the relevant NetVault Backup machines to capture diagnostic information about the error condition. This information helps in determining the source of error condition.

IMPORTANT: Tracing can affect performance of the application and generate large amounts of data on the server and client machines. You should only enable tracing when requested by Quest Technical Support, and disable this option after the issue is resolved.
