System Backup Troubleshooting Backup and Restore Activity logging The file backup.log is used to record backup activities. It is saved in the /export/home/xrxusr directory. The first line of the backup log contains the system name and the time and date the backup was initiated. To prevent the log being overwritten by a subsequent backup, rename the log. You should give it a name that is somehow related the date that the backup was made (for example, backup040402.log). To rename the log, perform the following steps: 1. Open a terminal window and logon as root user 2. Enter pwd to verify that /export/home/xrxusr is the current directory. If it is not, enter cd /export/home/xrxusr to change to it. 3. Enter ls to display the contents of the directory. One of the files listed should be backup.log. 4. Change the log name to your desired name by entering the following command: mv backup.log logname where logname is the name you have selected for your backup log. System Guide 7- 7

System Backup Troubleshooting
Activity logging
The file
backup.log
is used to record backup activities. It is saved
in the
/export/home/xrxusr
directory. The first line of the backup
log contains the system name and the time and date the backup
was initiated.
To prevent the log being overwritten by a subsequent backup,
rename the log. You should give it a name that is somehow related
the date that the backup was made (for example,
backup040402.log
).
To rename the log, perform the following steps:
1.
Open a terminal window and logon as root user
2.
Enter
pwd
to verify that
/export/home/xrxusr
is the current
directory.
If it is not, enter
cd /export/home/xrxusr
to change to it.
3.
Enter
ls
to display the contents of the directory. One of the files
listed should be
backup.log
.
4.
Change the log name to your desired name by entering the
following command:
mv backup.log logname
where logname is the name you have selected for your backup
log.
