Tape Engine Log File

The Tape Engine log file is labeled TAPE.LOG. It can be found in the CA\ARCserve Backup\LOG directory.

If you do not specify Circular Logging settings, CA ARCserve Backup uses the default file name, TAPE.LOG. If you do specify settings, TAPE.LOG is still generated, but it is chunked into smaller files and the smaller files are named using the following format:

TAPE.LOG.####

where #### represents the sequential log number created on a given day.

Example: Tape Engine Log File

For example, on a given day, the Tape Engine generates three log files based upon a file size limit of 100 MB. The log file names are as follows:

TAPE.LOG
TAPE.LOG.0001
TAPE.LOG.0002
