Redirecting bpbkar log on Windows and NetWare clients
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 1 comment
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hello,
We have these rather large file/print servers (Windows and Netware) where we keep getting error code 13 on backups.
I created the bpbkar folder and increased the verbose level on one of the servers and filled up the C drive (note: I am a unix admin).
Is there a way to redirect bpbkar log entries to a different area on Windows and Netware servers? On unix, I would normally create a symbolic link. Not sure how to go about doing this on non-unix.
Thanks

New registry key BP_LOGS can redirect logs to new location.
Try this method in this technote:
DOCUMENTATION: How to manually change the path where NetBackup log files are located.
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/239186.htm
Basically edit registry on client:
Add new string value 'BP_LOGS'
Its value will be the new location of the Logs.
But must follow the format
D:${_ps}Logs
Which equates to D:\Logs\
Create the sub-dirs of the daemons under that parent directory. And restart services.
Tip: Get overview/document your NBU environment. Run 'nbsu' and review the output.
