The default location on the server where the Veeam Virtualization Extension service is installed:
C:\Program Files\Veeam\Veeam Virtualization Extensions for System Center\Manager\Log
 
c) Veeam UI logs
The default location on the server where the Veeam UI component is installed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Veeam\Veeam Virtualization Extensions for System Center\User Interface\Logs
