Hi,

Can someone pls tell me that where the log files entries located for tar backup (Tape Backup)???

If you are wanting to know what files are on the tape then run

tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0mn > /tmp/tar.log

and then more the tar.log

I am sorry, there is no such thing for "tar backup" unless you provide while to tar.

Eample:-

3 tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0mn /opt/app/oracle > /tmp/daily_backup.log

or

You need to write your own script to $LOGFILE to capture the logs.

Thanks,
Johnson

Hi,

There is no log file will be create if you are using tar command but if you are using nohup with tar command then you can check the nohup.log
