Delete Activity Log Records

Virtual Standby lets you manage the overall size of Activity Log data. The Activity Log contains job records for the CA ARCserve D2D source nodes that you are protecting. If you are protecting a large quantity of source servers, you perform frequent backups, or both, the Activity Log can consume a large amount of disk space on the CA ARCserve D2D node.

You can delete Activity Log records that are older than a specified date or delete all Activity Log records.

Note: The Activity Log (activity.log) is stored in the following directory on the server where CA ARCserve D2D is installed:

C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve D2D\Logs
