Hello.
You may set the verbosity level depending on how much info you need.
VERBOSE is usually all one will need to figure out a problem. If more info
is needed to diagnose a problem, then one can up the verbosity, but it
should be lowered once you find what you need. The verbosity can be
anything between 1 and 99.
Example of a possible entry in bp.conf:
VERBOSE=5
Note: You'll also need to have your log directories created in
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs before VERBOSE will help. Verbose turns on
logging but doesn't create the necessary log directories.
