If you are using one of the netbackup gui's programs to set up the =
restore, they each have a method to choose the name of the log file. =
This includes the full path. The exact location of this option depends =
on which gui program you are using.=20

During restores with millions of files, NetBackup saves the restore =
status to:
=20
1) /tmp/bplog.rest.001
2) /tmp/bplog.rest.002
=20
In which the current (or newest) bplog.rest file is 002, which =
continually grows, showing the status as each of the millions of files =
are restored to the server.  This file as you can imagine will grow =
indefinitely with millions of files until the restoration is completed.=20
=20
Is there a way to re-direct NetBackup's bplog restore status to log to a =
partition OTHER THAN /tmp?
=20
NOTE: I am not using the NetBackup Advanced Client, the restore simply =
spans multiple weeks of data, which is why there are so many files.
=20
Thanks,
