Data Protector Event Log

The Data Protector Event Log represents a centralized event
management mechanism, dealing with specific events that occurred
during the Data Protector operation. The events are logged in the

\log\Ob2EventLog.txt

(Windows systems)

or in the

/var/opt/omni/log/Ob2EventLog.txt

using the Data Protector GUI helps you troubleshoot possible problems.

The events are logged by the notifications functionality. Refer to “Data
Protector Notifications” on page 342
