Activity Logs
The following is a list of facts to be familiar with before using activity logs:
◆ NetBackup retains activity logs for the number of days you specify with the Duration
to Keep Logs global attribute (28 days by default) and then deletes them. On UNIX,
NetBackup deletes the logs on the master server, media servers and clients. For
instructions on changing Duration to Keep Logs, see the NetBackup System
Administrator’s Guide - (UNIX or Windows NT/2000, whichever applies).

program authenticates the user that started the application.
bpjava-usvc NetBackup program started by bpjava-msvc upon successful login
through the Login dialog box that is presented when a NetBackup-Java
interface is started. This program services all requests from the Java
administration and user interfaces on the host where bpjava-msvc is
running.
bprd NetBackup request daemon.
bpsched NetBackup backup scheduler. This process runs only on master servers.

user_ops The user_ops directory is created during the install of NetBackup on
all servers and clients. The NetBackup Java interface programs use it for
temporary files and for job and progress log files generated by the user
backup, archive, and restore program (jbpSA). This directory must exist
for successful operation of any of the Java programs and must have
public read, write and execute permissions. user_ops will contain a
directory for every user that is using the Java programs.
