Veeam B&R Log Files

[perjonsson1960]

Folks,

The folder "C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\" in our VBR server is around 26 GB in size.
It contains logfiles about jobs, VMs and physical machines that are long gone. Is this folder going to grow out of control, or is there a logfile cleanup utility that may be used?
For example, there are 1928 zip files from the beginning of 2023 and onwards.

Kind regards,
PJ

Hello @perjonsson1960 you may want to review this KB article on log rotation - https://www.veeam.com/kb1825

[perjonsson1960]

Thanks!

I decided to move the logfiles to a new location, in order to clean it up. It seems to work fine.
However, one (1) of the logfiles is still updated in the old default location. The name is "Svc.VssHwSnapshotProviderService.log". It has not been recreated in the new folder.

Are there any Veeam representatives who have read the above regarding the file "Svc.VssHwSnapshotProviderService.log"?

Hi Per Jonsson

There are a few logs (Svc.VssHwSnapshotProviderService.log, ExplorerStandByService, Plugins) which are not affected by the reg key. This is a known behavior but I don't have an ETA when it will be fixed.

Let me see if we can add the limitation to the kb article.

Best,
Fabian

Okay, thank you!

Both "Plugin" and "Plugins" seem to be moved to the new location.
"ExplorerStandbyService", however, is not.

Ok thanks.
It may be possible that the path for the plugin logs are fixed by now.

Best,
Fabian
