Which backup method?
So there are two primary backup methods provided in frontview, for purpose of backing up my volume data. There is the so called "File Backup" and there is ReadyDR. I'm assuming my machine (524x) su...
Thanks to both of you for your backup scripts, I will check them out in detail and see what I want to do.
One more question. in the front view there is a backup log that shows up after the backup is complete, which shows every file that was backedup. Do either of you know where that file is created and updated while the backup is in progress?

The backup logs are in /var/log/frontview/backup/
yea I look at those already but those are not the same logs shown in front view. At the end of backup front view log shows a bunch of information about the time and date of the backup and also shows a line for every file that was backed up. That information is not contained in /var/log/frontview/backup/ anywhere that I have been able to find.

Did you look in the backup_XXX_copy.XXXXXXXXXX.log files?
The last field is an epoch timestamp, you can convert it to human-readable time using https://www.epochconverter.com/
The linux date command will also convert it. (date -d @XXXXXXXXXX)
FWIW, I don't think the info you see in Frontview is coming from one file. I think it is assembled, and the specifics might depend on what protocol you are using for backup.
With rsync backup, I think I normally just see what is in backup_XXX.log in Frontview. But I don't look there much, as my backup NAS are almost always powered down.
