Guest Brett Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I am using wbadmin to backup my Windows Server 2008 server using a scheduled task. Everything works great as far as the backup is concerned. I want to have the server attach the log file and email it to me when the backup is completed. Where is the backup log file? I can’t find it anywhere and I cannot find the answer on the net. So my question is, where is the backup log file? Thanks

Guest Brett Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Re: Windows Server 2008 bakcup logs Thanks Meinolf. Indeed there are some log files there in .etl format. I deleted all of the files and did another backup. When the backup started a log file appeared but when the backup was completed the file disappeared! I don't know what good the .etl file woud do me anyway. I do not see how to specify any logging with wbadmin. Does that mean that if the backup is successful there is no log file?
