# Exporting Logs with Control Panel and Status Bar Menu

You can export Veeam Agent logs from the Veeam Agent control panel or status bar menu. When you export logs, you can choose a folder where Veeam Agent should save the resulting log archive.

::: note

Veeam Agent provides the **Help** > **Export logs to** menu with 2 options: *Local folder* and *Veeam server*. The *Veeam Server* option is available only when Veeam Agent operates in the managed mode. For more information on operating modes, see [Standalone and Managed Operation Modes](operation_modes.md).
