About using the Collect Log files wizard
You can use the Collect Log files wizard from the NetBackup Appliance Web
Console to collect log files from an Appliance. The wizard lets you collect different
types of log files like NetBackup, Appliance, operating system, PureDisk, GUI,
NBSU (NetBackup Support Utility), DataCollect and so on.
You can collect log files from a 52x0 Appliance.
After you have generated the log files you can email them to recipients, download
them to your computer, or upload them to Symantec Support. For information about
the Appliance Diagnostics Center, See “Troubleshooting and tuning Appliance from
the Appliance Diagnostics Center” on page 31.
See “About working with log files” on page 48.

directory.
