Well, you know, it's not like I'm trying to do anything complex. A few 
trivial cut/paste operations is all. But noooooo, that would be too 
useful...

BackupExec does not "give" it to you at all. It displays it in screen 
for you, and lets you print it, but it won't let you "have" the 
underlying file at all. (Although it does tell you that this log is file 
38H4G28JHQ83BH94EH.XML if you're interested.)
