VA for AIX Job logs and Session History
Are the Job logs and Session History cleaned up periodically? If so, what are the retention periods and can they be changed?
On a related note, is there any reason not to exclude the /var/log/veeam directory from backups?

Re: VA for AIX Job logs and Session History
Hi,
Veeam agent excludes network file systems (NFS and SMB) by default as well as pseudo-file systems (such as /proc, /sys, and others).
As for logs retnention - it can be adjusted with Logsrotatedays parameter in /etc/veeam/veeam.ini
Thank you!

Some people want all their logs to stay in their backup, some people don't. Since /var/log/veeam is not a pseudo-file system, we left it as is. You can exclude it using --excludeDirs CLI parameteris there any reason not to exclude the /var/log/veeam directory from backups?
Thank you!

Re: VA for AIX Job logs and Session History
Just looked at /etc/veeam/veeam.ini and that parameter isn't there:
[general]
# Logs path
# logsFolder= /var/log/veeam
[job]
What's the correct syntax?
[general]
# Logs path
# logsFolder= /var/log/veeam
[job]
What's the correct syntax?
