Backup Exec creates an installation log file, named Bkupinst.htm, when you install Backup Exec and when you install patches. This log file can help you troubleshoot installation problems. The log file provides links to TechNotes for the most common errors. If you install the Remote Agent for Windows Systems, a log file called RAWSinst.htm is also created.
In addition, the text in the log file uses the following colors so you can identify warnings and errors:

For most versions of Windows, Bkupinst.htm is saved in:
%allusersprofile%\Application Data\Symantec\Backup Exec\Logs.
The Application Data folder is a hidden folder. If you do not see the Application Data folder, refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation for instructions on how to display hidden folders.
