Log data is not backed up unless you configure Symantec Endpoint Protection
Manager to back it up. If you do not back up the logs, then only your log
configuration options are saved during a backup. You can use the backup to restore
your database, but the logs in the database are empty of data when they are
restored.
The database backup might take several minutes to complete. You can check the
System log as well as the backup folder for the status during and after the backup.
See
“Preparing for disaster recovery”
on page 305.
