Copying logs and histories to the central administration server

During and after job processing, job log and job history information is generated for each job that is processed at each managed media server. By default, this information is stored locally at the managed media server where the jobs are processed. However, both job log and job history information can be copied and sent automatically to the central administration server, depending on the options you select in the Job Logs and Histories tab.

  1. On the central administration server’s navigation bar, click Media Servers.

  2. Do one of the following:
