as title!!
Can I delete it or empty it?

[Michael Tully]

This file carries information from 'fbackup' backups that have been started by 'sam'
If you are doing backups from a different place, then yes you can remove it or empty it.

[S.K. Chan]

That file is used to store the index of any fbackup session run from SAM. If you're not using SAM to perform your daily backup routine you can safely delete it. Check the time stamp first to make sure it's not current, someone must have run fbackup from SAM at some point in the past.

Hi,

If you did fbackup on your system then you'll get such logs..

you don't have to delete them just truncate when needed.

"makrec.log" under /var/opt/ignite/logs, can I empty it?

[T G Manikandan · Accepted solution]

it is the log file created during the ignite tape creation using make_tape_recovery.

You can remove it.
