DESCRIPTION
print a report containing the essential/key information
of an often very long
DataBackup
session log file

.
To create a report you can either send a log file to the
LogEssentials
entry in the
'Send To'
context menu of
'Windows™ Explorer',
start the
bin/LogEssentials
command and select a log file or you can create
a shortcut to the
bin/LogEssentials
command on the desktop and drop the log file to the
related desktop icon.
The
LogEssentials
command can be installed to the
'Send To'
context menu in
'Microsoft™ Windows Explorer'
for most convenient usage. To do so, invoke
LogEssentials -i
once.

the log file format improvements available from
that date on.
