DR Backup Log Files

Hello,

during DR backups or “Send Log Files” from Commserve,  very old ( > 2 years) files are collected and sent to DR locations and cloud. There is for example a 50GB InstallMongoDB.log file from 4/2020 in AllUsersProfile_1636362050 directory. These logs then increase the DR backups significantly. I tried to find somewhere these logs, but I cannot find them.

Could please anyone advise, how to prevent sending of these old log files ?

Thank you

Jiri.

Hi @JNIZ 

 

If only one huge log file is bothering you, have you tried to copy it somewhere else, then truncate the original ?

I guess the ‘send log files’ with all data checked is to make sure you provide the support all the logs to reproduce your environment to a lab for assisting, even though some logs are outdated as not updated since very very long time.. 

On my environment, I don’t have that InstallMongoDB.log nor AllUsersProfile* files on my CS.

I may not got your point. Where can you see the mention of those files ?
