-log="<LogOptions>"

Optional

Controls the way R-Drive Image logs its command-line activity. By default, it outputs its activity into WinNT event log if started from Windows scheduler, but can create its own xml-type log files.

LogOptions may be:

#nodefault : disables the default log output into syslog

<filename> : writes the log to the specified file name and path. Example: c:\mylogs\mylog.txt . The " , " character in the file name should be doubled.

<filepath> : writes the log files (a separate one to each session) to the specified folder. Each file name will have the following filename: date_time.rdl . Examples: c:\mydir\, file name: 20081003_215302.rdl .

#syslog : output logs into WinNT event log.

#sysdir : outputs logs into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\R-TT\R-Drive Image\Logs\ .

Example: -log="#nodefault,c:\mylog.txt,c:\mydir\,#sysdir"

This will make R-Drive Image write its logs to the c:\mylog.txt file, and to the c:\mydir\ and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\R-TT\R-Drive Image\Logs\ folders without writing to WinNT event log.
