Rotating RDA with OST Plug-In Logs for Windows
By default, the Windows log rotation size is set at 10 megabytes (MB). Once a log file has been reached this size, the
RDA with OST plug-in automatically renames the existing log file, libstspiDell.log to libstspiDell.log.old, and creates a
new log.
Modifying Log Rotation Size
To modify the log rotation size, you can edit the following registry key value:
HKLM\Software\Dell\OST\LogRotationSize
Immediately after modifying this value, the new rotation size value takes effect (meaning that you do not have to restart
the backup process).
