Log files can be useful for checking errors. Log files will be generated during the backup process and will be displayed in the backup progress window.

Log Content can have three different levels:

• Summary: contains only major steps in the backup process.
• Detailed: logs are more detailed, like: connection to ftp/mysql server, many minor steps to prepare the backup archive.
• Log all files: all backed up files are included in the log. Warning: if you have thousands of files to backup the log file will grow in size.

To save the log file somewhere select one or more of the following options:

• Target location: saves the log file to the backup set target folder.
• Folder: saves the logfile to the specified target directory.
• Mail: sends the log file to the specified email address. Complete the SMTP group box fields manually or click the SMTP Server edit box button to select a predefined SMTP server. To test data accuracy click the Send test message button; this will try to send an email using the data from the fields you completed.

The log file is a text file, with the file name of the created archive and 'txt' extension.

NT Logs is available for Windows NT based operating systems (Windows NT/XP/2003). If NT Event Viewer Logging Enabled then major backup progress events will be added to the system application event log:

• backup start
• backup success
• backup error.
