Note: The agent includes Activity Logs that provide information about
backup or restore jobs and their status. These logs are located in the
agent home directory, and are named dbaifmx.log, dbabatch.log, and
xbsa.log. The home directory may also contain files called trace logs,
which are created and updated only when debug is enabled. These logs
are called dbaifmx.trc, dbabatch.trc, and xbsa.trc. If required during a
debug session, you may be asked to check these Job Logs to help
determine the cause of the problem.
