About NetBackup appliance log files

Log files help you to identify and resolve any issues that you may encounter with your appliance.

The NetBackup appliance has the ability to capture hardware-, software-, system-, and performance-related data. Log files capture information such as appliance operation, issues such as unconfigured volumes or arrays, temperature or battery issues, and other details.

Table: Viewing log files describes the methods you can use to access the appliance log files.
