Log cleanup rules

Click the Log Cleanup Rules button in the main tool bar to set up your rules for keeping the log entries. In other words, this option specifies how to clean up the Acronis vmProtect 8 agent log.

Log Cleanup Rules dialog.

Select the check box in order to enable this Log cleanup rules option. Then, define the maximum size of the agent log folder (for example, in Windows XP/2003 Server %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Acronis\vmProtect\VMMS\LogEvents).

Along with the Maximum log size value, you can set up the amount of log entries you want to keep.

The default values for Log cleanup rules settings are:

• Maximum log size: 50Mb.
• Log size to keep after cleanup: 95%.

The Reset to defaults button reverts these values for the preset.

When the Log cleanup rules option is enabled, then after every 100 log entries, the program will compare the actual log size with the pre-set maximum log size. Once the maximum log size is exceeded, the program deletes the oldest log entries. The default 95% setting will keep most of the log. With the minimum 1% setting, the log will be nearly cleared.
