When troubleshooting an issue in your Code42 environment, a Customer Champion may request a copy of the logs or other diagnostic material from your Code42 app, or if you have an on-premises Code42 environment, from your Code42 server. This article provides instructions for you to send these resources to our Customer Champion team.
This article is for Code42 for Enterprise. If you are a CrashPlan for Small Business customer, see Send CrashPlan for Small Business log files to support.
