   3 BackupLog - Traces Backup Server operations
   4
   5 =head1 DESCRIPTION
   6
   7 The F<BackupLog> file records a trace of Backup Server (B<buserver>
   8 process) operations on the local machine and describes any error
   9 conditions it encounters.
  10
  11 If the F<BackupLog> file does not already exist in the F</usr/afs/logs>
  12 directory when the Backup Server starts, the server process creates it and
  13 writes initial start-up messages to it.
  14
  15 The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
  16 F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file can use the B<bos getlog> command to display
  17 its contents. Alternatively, log on to the machine and use a text editor
  18 or a file display command such as the UNIX B<cat> command. By default, the
  19 mode bits on the F<BackupLog> file grant the required C<r> (read)
  20 permission to all users.
  21
  22 The Backup Server records operations only as it completes them, and so
  23 cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are
  24 useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other
  25 problems.
