AFAIK the default (system) log directory is: /var/log

Is /oracle_backups another partition/disk/mountpoint, which might not be mounted at the time you were looking for its subdir ./log?

Hope his helps

Hi Sea,

/oracle_backups is a directory present under / root directory and yes its subdir.

Is there anything else in /oracle_backups?
Or is just ./log missing?

If there is nothing else, i'd check your /etc/fstab.
Or whatever method you use to mount the backup path to /oracle_backups.

If there are other files but just ./logs are missing in /oracle_backups, i'd assume it got deleted.
Wouldnt know where to get started in that case..

Hope this helps

Hi Sea,

--Files inside logs folder were missing.

No problem and not sure why files under logs folder were missing.To my surprise i could see files are back now under logs folder
and not sure how they have come back.

Thanks for your guidance.
