# Exporting Logs to Veeam Backup Server

If Veeam Agent is connected to the Veeam backup server as a member of the protection group for pre-installed Veeam Agents, Veeam Agent can collect the required logs, export them to an archive file and send to the Veeam backup server. This operation may be required if you want to report an issue and need to attach log files to the support case.


You can export product logs to Veeam backup server in the following ways:

- [Using Veeam Agent control panel](#cp).
- [Using Veeam Agent status bar menu](#sbm).
- [Using Veeam Agent command line interface](#cli).

## Exporting Logs Using Control Panel {#cp}

To export logs, from the Veeam Agent application menu, select **Help** > **Export logs to** > **Veeam server**.

## Exporting Logs Using Command Line Interface {#cli}


To export logs, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig mode exportdebuglogs
```

Veeam Agent will collect logs, export them to an archive file with the name `veeam_logs_<agent>_<date>_<time>.tar.gz` and save the archive to to the following folder on the Veeam backup server:

```
C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Endpoint\Other\AgentLogs\<computer_name>
```

where `<computer_name>` — name of the computer with Veeam Agent installed.

::: tip

If Veeam Agent operates in the standalone mode, you can export product logs only to a local directory on the Veeam Agent computer. To learn more, see [Exporting Product Logs](logs_export.md).
