Davina,
    This is the first I have heard of this, thanks for the tip.  I have a 
follow on question: Is the log exactly the same as it used to be after it has 
been rendered (using either method)?  I have not upgraded to 7.4 yet and I am 
wondering how much I will need to change my scripts.

No it is not identical.

I assume you are using NetWorker 7.4. The daemon.log file went away

in

7.4 and was replaced by daemon.raw which is in a format that allows

for

support of multiple languages. To view the contents of the daemon.raw

file, use a utility called nsr_render_log. What I usually do when I

want

to check that file is something along the lines of

  nsr_render_log -B -20 /nsr/logs/daemon.raw

Details on nsr_render_log are available in the man pages and I think

in

the Administrator Guide, as well as the Command Reference.

Stan is correct, but if you just want to bring the daemon.log back you can do it with the following command:

         echo "print type: NSR log;
                     name: daemon.raw
         update runtime rendered log: /nsr/logs/daemon.log" \
| nsradmin -p nsrexecd -i -
