Log files

[stewsie]

Hi

In the Veeam log file location I see some sub folders one called Export Logs and the other system\retention

What are these for and is it safe to delete log files in these folders? There are a number of old log files in these folders that if possible I would like to delete

Thanks

Hi Paul

Those logs are used by our support team in a support case to investigate technical issues with your backup server.
Generally said you can delete log files in C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup.
Just keep in mind, log files may be required for a support case. If you delete most recent logs files, our support team won't have all the information to investigate an issue.

You can control some settings for the log retention with the information in this kb article:
