ON-Bar writes informational, progress, warning, error, and debugging messages to the ON-Bar activity log, bar_act.log.

ON-Bar backup and restore errors do not appear in standard output. If an error occurs when you back up and restore data, check information in the ON-Bar activity log

You can also use the activity log to:

Monitor backup and restore activities such as, which storage spaces and logical logs were backed up or restored, the progress of the operation, and approximately how long it took.
Verify whether a backup or restore succeeded.
Track errors from the ondblog utility.
Track ON-Bar performance statistics

The ON-Bar activity log is in the /tmp directory on UNIX™ and in the %ONEDB_HOME%\etc directory on Windows™. You specify the location of the ON-Bar activity log with the BAR_ACT_LOG configuration parameter.
