SQL Backup 6

Log files

SQL Backup produces two different types of log file, application log files and activity log files. These files are useful if you have encountered a problem and are working with Redgate support to resolve it.

Application log files

Application log files collect information about the application while you are using it.

By default, application log files are stored in:

  • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Red Gate\Logs\SQL Backup (Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and later)
  • %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Red Gate\Logs\SQL Backup (Windows XP and Windows 2003)

Activity log files

Activity log files collect information about each backup and restore activity performed in SQL Backup.

For more detailed information on activity log files, see SQL Backup log files in File management options.
