Hello all,
Is there a log file on the backed up client (Windows OS) that shows all (successfully) backed up files from a File System Backup?
As you can view all the successfully backed up files from within Commvault the information must be there somewhere - I presume in the CommServe DB itself - but is that also logged somewhere in a log file on the client?
Background:
An application on that Client is creating many files on a daily basis that need to be backed up but afterwards (after 24h) are no longer needed on the client. Unfortunately, the application does not cleanup these “old” files, meaning they remain on the File System unless they are manually deleted. Due to the large size of these files (couple of GB per File) we ideally don’t want to just extend the File System but instead would prefer to run a script that runs deletes these files 1-2x per day. But to do that we somehow need to establish a logical verification that the files have been previously backed up, which is where such log file crawling might be the solution to that problem. Any inputs or recommendations are welcome.
Cheers,
