We're trying to capture Windows Backup Event log Errors - but the tool forces us to specify the Event Log in question. In my testing, certain Windows Backup event's go into the 'Application' Log (eg: ID 546) while other's go into the 'Microsoft-Windows-Backup\Operational log' (Eg: ID 19).  How can I find out which Log each EVENT ID records to? 

Event ID 4
Event ID 5
Event ID 8
Event ID 9
Event ID 17
Event ID 18
Event ID 19
Event ID 20
Event ID 21
Event ID 22
Event ID 49
Event ID 50
Event ID 52
Event ID 100
Event ID 517
Event ID 518
Event ID 521
Event ID 527
Event ID 528
Event ID 544
Event ID 545
Event ID 546
Event ID 561
Event ID 564
Event ID 612

Hi op0，

Thanks for your post.

Do you mean you want to find all windows server backup related event log from all the events？

If so you could create a custom view, you can create a filter that includes these events from multiple event logs if they are logged.
