Is there a way to just store the output of --full-result? Seems like what I have to do is specify an after- script and have it consist of `cat - >report.txt` Seems silly. Am I missing something? ---

Nope, I don’t think you’re missing anything. I agree it would be nice to have a “redirect stdout to log file X” option… ---

OK, but how do I do this in Windows? ---

I think it’s `type STDIN >report.txt` ---

Unfortunately, no. But I appreciate the attempt ☹ ---

Yeah I just tried that. _oh holy crap what a POS windows is_ here’s what will work: `findstr x* STDIN >report.txt` the reason is, unlike ‘cat’ in Unix, “TYPE” in MS-DOS can’t see STDIN. Only files on disk. But’ findstr’, which is sortakindalittlebit like ‘grep’, **_can_** see STDIN. ‘x\*’ says, “give me lines with 0 or more occurrences of ‘x’.” Which is all lines. ---

> [@davegold](#): > > OK, but how do I do this in Windows? Your best bet for now is to run the task as a command line with something like `>C:\DuplicatiOutput.txt` at the end of the line. So if you are wanting the output of a backup job piped to a file, then I’d suggest using the “Export → As Command-line” feature to get a command line you can then add the above redirect to and run in a shell. If it’s something else, such as a Compare, that you want then you’ll have to manually build the command line. It’s not difficult once you understand it, but getting there can be a bit of a pain. Let us know what the specific command you’re looking to log is and maybe we can put a sample together for you. It’s POSSIBLE (but I’ve not tested) that the Windows 10 bash shell will work with STDIN @Kahomono described. > [@Kahomono](#): > > oh holy crap what a POS windows is I’m not going to disagree, but I will point out that the way to do what’s being asked for is to use the command line…which I’m pretty sure is what people used to rag on Linux about… 🙂 Also, in case you didn’t catch it I’ve started a “Features” topic about getting a `--stdout=` type advanced parameter added. 😉 > [@Standard output logging](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/standard-output-logging/1410): > > Would it be difficult to add a --stdout=\ logging parameter to Duplicati.CommandLine.exe which would either fork or send normal console / GUI output to the specified \? (Note that this is different from the existing --log-file parameter which is to “log internal information”.) I’m picturing this being used with GUI run Compare or Test-Filter commands - or even Backup commands which could be used to help debug something like this backup (which was run with --full-results): Backup sta… ---

Yes, I saw it. I already gave it a Like. 🙂 Be a pal and try the findstr on WIn10. I only have a 7. Won’t touch 10. ---

> [@JonMikelV](#): > > If it’s something else, such as a Compare, that you want then you’ll have to manually build the command line. That’s one thing I’m missing in the Web UI: an “Export to commandline” button in the Commandline section of the Web UI, just like the export button for exporting backup jobs. This will make it possible to assemble a command using the GUI and convert it for use outside the web interface. It also helps learning and understanding how the commandline tools work. ---

Um, why not throw the commandline on the screen and then go all ^C^V? ---

Yes, that’s exactly what is should do. An “Export” button next to the “Run command now” button gives choice between showing results in browser or commandline. ---

Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. I appreciate your thought though. It may be that there is something in my config that is different.
