BackupEventLog
The BackupEventLog
function saves the specified event log to a backup file. The function does not
clear the event log.
BOOL BackupEventLog(
|
HANDLE hEventLog, |
// handle to event
log |
|
LPCTSTR lpBackupFileName |
// name of backup
file |
|
); |
|
Parameters
hEventLog
Identifies
the open event log. This handle is returned by the OpenEventLog or OpenBackupEventLog function.
lpBackupFileName
Pointer to a
null-terminated string that names the backup file. The backup filename may
contain a server name to save the backup file on a remote server.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
Remarks
If the backup
filename specifies a remote server, the event log handle must identify a log on
the local computer. You cannot back up an event logfile from a remote server to
a file on a remote server (even if the backup file and the original log are on
the same server).
