About collecting AMS logs

Starting with version 3.3.0.1, Appliance Management logs are included when you run the DataCollect command on a NetBackup Appliance or a NetBackup Virtual Appliance. The logs are located under /log/appliancemgmt, and they include the AMS as well as the agent logs.

For details on the usage of DataCollect, refer to the NetBackup Appliance Commands Reference Guide.
