Redirect XSIBAckup-DC 1.7.1.7 output into a log file

Hi,

Before upgrading XSIBackup-DC to version 1.7.1.7 I was at 1.5.2.1 where I had no problems to invoke xsibackup while redirecting its output into a dedicated log file.  I used the following command, adapted to the new location of xsibackup:

TS=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/xsibackup <options> >> "/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/var/log/xsibackup-$TS.log" 2>&1

The result now is that XSIBackup-DC creates a separate log file by its own, stored in /scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/var/log/xsibackup.log. A very small portion of the log file content was in my file /scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/var/log/xsibackup-$TS.log and another part in the automatically created /scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/var/log/xsibackup.log.

As a second try, I removed my redirection and started again. Unfortunately, the written log file did not contain all the output that was shown on screen.

What I would like to obtain is that the full output is written into a file.

Do you have any hints as how to achieve this with the latest version of XSIBackup-DC?

Best regards,
Peter
