Technote (FAQ)
Question
What is the way to have more then 40 FastBack Server logs kept in the same time?
Cause
The FastBack Server logs are filled with different events and messages and sometimes that happens on a very high frequency. Since the Fastback Server logs limitation is 40 log files to be kept at one time, the problem moment can be missed in such case making such problem troubleshooting hard.
Answer
Note: Please, do not forget to disable the unlimited FastBack Server logs option in the end of troubleshooting to avoid the system disk overflow problem.
To enable the unlimited FastBack Server logs option:
- Go to the FastBack Server logs folder
- Windows 2008 path: %system drive%\programdata\tivoli\tsm\fastback\server
- Windows 2003 path: %system drive%\application data\all users\tivoli\tsm\fastback\server
- Create the file named FAST_BACK_SERVER.KEP
- Restart the FastBack Server service.
Note: It is advised to monitor the FastBack Server logs growth to avoid the system disk from getting filled. Disable the unlimited FastBack Server logs option when the troubleshooting stage is finished and the logs are collected.
To disable the unlimited FastBack Server logs option, please:
- Erase the FAST_BACK_SERVER.KEP file.
- Restart the FastBack Server service.
