Instructions

Certain environments such as Dark sites are not able to scrub an entire log bundle, but they can scrub something smaller. The "Export Log Feature" gleans all Trace IDs from PowerProtect Data Manager (PPDM) logs and puts them in a concise readable form that can be scrubbed of all hostnames and IP Addresses and provided to support.

Procedure: 
From the Protection Job Screen:
  1. Select the job where the failure is occurring.
  2. Click Export log.
