Log file

 

Log errors and warnings

This option is checked and it cannot be changed. The program will log all the errors and warnings raised during backup, restore and test operations.

 

Log detailed information

If checked the program will log detailed information about all files handled by the backup, restore or test process. By default this option is not checked.

 

Include summary in log

If checked the logs will contain all the text available in the main window's Summary view. By default this option is not checked.

 

 

Log folder

 

In this group you can set the size limits for the folder where the logs are stored. The path to the logs is set on the File Locations page of the Options window.

 

Unlimited size

If checked there are no limits other than free disk space for the log folder size. After a long period the program will generate a large number of log files, so you might want to clean up the log folder manually. By default this option is not checked.

 

Restricted to

If checked the log folder size is limited to the value set in the Size field below. If the log file of the running backup job is larger than the limit, it will still be stored in the log folder. When the same operation will run again, the previous log file will be deleted. By default this option is checked.

 

Size

The log folder size will be less or equal then this value. By default this option is set to 10.

 

Units

You can set the desired unit from the drop down list. Possible choices are: Bytes, KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes) or GB (gigabytes). By default this option is set to MB.
