One of my clients is running a scheduled NTBackup on his NT4 server. I noticed that the size of the backup log files is now over 140 MB each. I can't even open them to see what is in them. The first few logs were only a bit over 4000K. I watched thelogfile directory after starting a new backup from a batch file, and noticed the first entry for the new logfile was over 139 MB. It seems like backup is dumping something huge into the log right from the start.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Curt

What can you try to do: Run Backup manually, leave all options "as is", and try to backup something small. Check log file what it containes. After this try to play with log file settings. It has different optionl like full log/summary log/error log etc. See what they has defined in batch file (or in command line in schedule). I believe it should be something "on-surface". May be they define log file as backup device... :-)

Good luck.
