The backup eventlog command backs up the Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Windows.NET event logs. For Windows NT, you can back up one or a combination of these logs: application, security, system.
For Windows 2000, XP, and Windows.NET: This command backs up all event logs available to the operating system. The back up of the Windows 2000, XP, and Windows.NET event log will determine which logs will process by enumerating the sub-keys of registry key:
- HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
This ensures that Tivoli Storage Manager processes all Windows 2000, XP, and Windows.NET event logs.
Tivoli Storage Manager saves the log copies in the adsm.sys\eventlog directory under root directory of the system drive before sending them to the server for backup.
