Change Log files location on backup& Proxy Server

Post by gouvi04 »

Hi,

Hope you are all doing well..!!

Log files on Proxy servers and backup Server is causing the disk space problem on C:\Drive.
Is there any way to change log files location from C:\Drive to D:\Drive ???????/
My default log file location is C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\

As mentioned in the KB article, a backup server needs to be restarted:
Note: After making changes to these setting the Veeam server must be restarted to apply changes
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

Have you seen this article already? Are you sure that you've restarted VBR server after introducing registry changes?

Thanks!

Where exactly have you specified those keys? If you want to reduce number of logs stored on proxy server, you need to set those keys on a proxy server, not on a backup server. Thanks!
