Log

The Log stores the history of operations performed by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 on the
machine, or actions a user takes on the machine using the program. For instance, when a user edits a
task, the respective entry is added to the log. When the program executes a task, it adds multiple
entries. With the log, you can examine operations, results of tasks' execution including reasons for
failure, if any.
