From version 7.4 onwards, the logging format for NetWorker has changed. Instead of writing to daemon.log, the logs are written to daemon.raw. This is done in the interests of portability and internationalisation.

The daemon.raw file can be translated into your own language by running the Italic textnsr_render_logItalic text program on it. If you wish, you can do this automatically at runtime, and effectively bring back the daemon.log file, albeit in a slightly different format.

You can configure this on Unix with the following command:

        echo "print type: NSR log;
                    name: daemon.raw
        update runtime rendered log: /nsr/logs/daemon.log" \

| nsradmin -p 390113 -i -

If you are using Windows you will probably need to do this slightly differently. This may work: Create a file, called perhaps nsradmin.in, containing the following:

print type: NSR log;

     name: daemon.raw

update runtime rendered log: C:\\Program Files\\nsr\\legato\\logs\\daemon.log

then run: nsradmin -i nsradmin.in -p 390113
