View ON-Bar backup and restore performance statistics

To view ON-Bar performance results, open the ON-Bar activity log file, bar_act.log.

The location of the bar_act.log file is set by the BAR_ACT_LOG configuration parameter.

When the BAR_PERFORMANCE configuration parameter is set to 1 or 3, the activity report shows a transfer rate report.
