Log file properties

These settings allow you to specify your log file configuration.

Logging folder—Specify the directory where each of the log files in this section are stored. The default location is the directory where the Double-Take Availability program files are installed.
Messages & Alerts—These settings apply to the service log file.

Maximum size—Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the log file. The default size is 5242880 bytes (5 MB). Once the maximum has been reached, a new log file will be created.
Maximum number of files—Specify the maximum number of log files that are maintained. The default is 5, and the maximum is 999. Once the maximum has been reached, the oldest file will be overwritten.

Verification—The verification log is created during the verification process and details which files were verified as well as the files that are synchronized.

File name—This field contains the base log file name for the verification process. The job type and a unique identifier will be prefixed to the base log file name. For example, since the default is DTVerify.log, the verification log for a files and folders job will be Files and Folders_123456abcdef DTVerify.log.
Maximum size—Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the verification log file. The default is 1048576 bytes (1 MB).
Append—Enable the Append check box if you want to append each verification process to the same log file. If this check box is disabled, each verification process that is logged will overwrite the previous log file. By default, this option is enabled.
Language—At this time, English is the only language available.

Statistics—The statistics log maintains connection statistics such as mirror bytes in queue or replication bytes sent. This file is a binary file that is read by the DTStat utility.

File name—This is the name of the statistics log file. The default file name is statistic.sts.
Maximum size—Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the statistics log file. The default is 10485760 bytes (10 MB). Once this maximum has been reached, the oldest data will be overwritten.
Write interval—Specify how often, in minutes, Double-Take Availability writes to the statistics log file. The default is every 5 minutes.

Archive Preview—The archive preview identifies what files Double-Take RecoverNow can archive based on the specified criteria.

File name—This is the name of the preview archive report. The default file name is ArchivePreview.txt. The job name is appended to this filename when the report is generated.
Maximum size—Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the archive preview report. The default is 10485760 bytes (10 MB). Once this maximum has been reached, the oldest data will be overwritten.
