Job Logs Disappearing

[ernieg]

Hi all,

Using Arcserve 2000, we noticed that our job logs (J000xxxx.log) were disappearing and have recently discovered the "DB Pruning" job to be the cause. For example setting the Database prune job to remove records older than 28 days also caused any job logs older than 28 days to be deleted!!!

We need to keep these logs for other purposes so the question is how can this function be disabled from the DB prune job? We have been copying the logs to another folder as a workaround, but of course would prefer a tick-box or registry setting to provide a more permanent solution.

Thanks
Ernie

Don't know of a way to disable just this function.

However you can setup a Copy job with an include filter File Created Within 1 day and that should take care of it for you.

Yes, weve setup a simple copy command to run once a day off the NT scheduler.
Dont remember this problem in version 6.x. Nice to see CA introducing new features
Thanks

It was added later on, and probably due to complaints of all the logs adding up.
