MaxBack Logging Settings
By default, the MaxBack VSS Writer uses the Windows Event Log and a more detailed text log. If necessary you can change these log settings.
Log file location
The default location for the log file is:
C:\ProgramData\dbosoft\MaxBack\VSSWriter\<DatabaseName>\logs
Log files will be automatically archived and deleted.
Log level
To change the log level of the event log or the text log, modify the log level setting in the config file of the Writer service.
The config file is located in the binary installation path (default: C:\Program Files\dbosoft\MaxBack\VssWriter).
File name: MaxBack.VssWriter.exe.config
