NTBackup specify logfile location


Recommended Posts

Posted

When using W2003 NTBackup is there a way of specifying where the log file

will be created?

 

I understand the '/L:{f | s | n}' part to create the file, but I can't find

a way of specifying where it will be created.

 

TIA.

 

Pete.

Re: NTBackup specify logfile location

 

I don't know if you can. The log is usually kept here

"%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows

NT\NTBackup\data\*.LOG"

 

What I have done is to create a batch file to rename it and move it to the

location I want

Thanks Glenn and Mathieu for your responses, I've used robocopy to copy just

the recent log to an alternative location, so I'll carry on with that.

 

It would be nice if Microsoft would add the capability!
