This topic contains information about the NAS proxy configuration details, metadata, and log files for NAS devices and NAS shares.
NAS proxy log files
The NAS proxy log files contain details of backups that the NAS proxy performs. Every backup generates a new log file in the following format.
Enterprise Workloads agent
For agent version prior to 7.0.0:
Log file format: Phoenix-<time stamp>-<job ID>.log
Example: Phoenix-20170921-152700-181.log
For agent version 7.0.0 and later:
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Druva\EnterpriseWorkloads\logs\nas\backup{backupsetID}\{job_id}\nas_{job_id}.log
Linux: /var/log/Druva/EnterpriseWorkloads/nas/backup/{backupsetID}/{job_id}/nas_{job_id}.log
If the NAS proxy does not function as expected, you can share these log files with the Druva Support team.
📝 Note
Druva retains logs for the last 32 NAS proxy activities on each NAS share.

Configuration details on NAS share
You can find the NAS proxy configuration details at the following locations:
Windows 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019:
C:\ProgramData\Phoenix\NAS\Phoenix.cfg(for agent version prior to 7.0.0)C:\ProgramData\Druva\EnterpriseWorkloads\Config.yaml(for agent version 7.0.0 and later)This is the configuration file containing common information for all the activated workloads.
C:\ProgramData\Druva\EnterpriseWorkloads\nas\Config.yaml(for agent version 7.0.0 and later)This is the configuration file specific for NAS.
CentOS,RHEL,SLES,Ubuntu:
/etc/Phoenix/NAS/Phoenix.cfg(for agent version prior to 7.0.0)/etc/Druva/EnterpriseWorkloads/Config.yaml(for agent version 7.0.0 and later)This is the configuration file containing common information for all the activated workloads.

Workloads agent services
On Windows servers, NAS proxy Client Service manages backups and restores. The PhoenixCPH service (for agent version prior to 7.0.0) or Druva-EnterpriseWorkloadsSVC (for agent version 7.0.0 and later) on Windows servers ensures that the NAS proxy Client Service is running. On Linux servers, the Phoenix process ensures that NAS proxy is running.
📝 Note
If NAS proxy stops working, PhoenixCPH (Windows) / Druva-EnterpriseWorkloadsSVC (Windows), or Phoenix (Linux) starts the NAS proxy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How to automatically delete older job logs of a backup set on a NAS proxy during a backup or restore?
You can set the threshold value by using the OLDER_LOGS_DELETION_AGE parameter in the configuration file to delete older job logs, thereby saving space on the NAS proxy. The default value is 180 days. The minimum allowed value is 1.
