How to Copy the Log Files.

It is essential for Cristie support services to have access to log files when dealing with customer support issues.

Log files are an essential component in helping us to answer support tickets quickly and efficiently. They give us background information that help to understand of the cause of most issues.

Here is a guide on how to copy these log files to a remote location, e.g. a shared network folder.
