Microsoft Azure Backup - Where are the Logs?

Question

We are using Microsoft Azure Backup to backup our server. Our backup is passing on 4 out of 5 drives, but consistently failing on the one. All that the Microsoft Azure GUI agent tells me though is that it failed. Where can I find the logs to further diagnose this issue? Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Take a look at the cloudbackup\operational event log on the client. Additional logs are in C:\program files\Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent\Temp. In that directory take a look at CBEngineCurr.errlog, which should contain the step by step details on issues.

Solution 2

Another way you view the Microsoft Azure Backup Agent logs is accessing. Server Manager > Diagnostics > Event Viewer > Application and services log > CloudBackup > Operational. You will have a record of logs for the service

Forgive my ignorance, but how does one view the cloudbackup\operational event log on the client?

eventvwr, then look in application and services logs, cloudbackup folder
