Log File is a binary file?

[krump]

Like in Subjest, look:


And the file:


And the file size after big backup (5,3TB):

The log file is a unicode-encoded text file.

[krump]

Yup its true I was convert it using iconv do utf8. The size is a half of orignal file, isn't better use utf8?

[cobian]

UTF16 is much more convenient for parsing (and the standard for Windows API). UTF8 is more popular in the unix world and more size efficient, but harder to parse... different things.

[krump]

Windows, can't open a UTF16 file. Editors was crashing. That's reason why I use UTF8 and linux

[cobian]

Notepad can as far as I know...

[krump]

Notepad crashed to with tis 2GB file.
Vscode try to open it after approve more memory, but after few second of seeing file crash to.

[cobian]

Yes, there could be some application limitations. Notepad++ has no such limitations because it uses mapped memory, I think.

Notepad crashed to with tis 2GB file.

There is no reason why CR will produce a log file that is 2GB in size. Something has gone wrong.

What size is the log file if you run the backup again? The log file should be much smaller.

[cobian]

I think the Debug option must be activated.
