Backup reports provide essential information about past and currently running backup jobs. The displayed backup jobs properties, the report format and more are controlled by backup report profiles.
The active backup profile can be changed through the drop-down list
in the upper left of the screen. For more information about backup
profiles and to manage backup profiles, click on the Manage backup
profiles
action menu.
Whatever the selected profile, the result is displayed as a list of
jobs: the list of jobs matching the selected profile. Each selected job
is displayed as a simple text line split into columns, each column
showing a property of the job. The columns to display are defined in the
profile, so that the user can specify which property he wants to
see. Available backup properties are listed and documented in the online
help of the Manage backup profiles
screen.
In the example below, the DEMO savepack profile has been selected, which shows two backup jobs, with some of their properties: the start date of the jobs, the duration of the jobs (time), the amount of backed up data (size), the number of backed up files (Nb Files) and the name of the backed up savepack.
The color of a line represents the backup job status:
By default, the jobs are chronologically arranged: the most recent one is displayed at the top of the list; the oldest one is displayed at the end of the list. However, since all columns are sortable, it is possible to reorder jobs as desired.
At the beginning of each line, a small icon shows the backup type. Here is the list of possible backup types:
At the end of each line, two clickable icons make it possible to open specific reports about a backup job:
A left click on a backup job line reveals the list of trees backed up by this job. Here is an example with our DEMO savepack profile:
The tree view (accessible through the Show only trees link) focuses on backed up trees rather than on backup jobs. Status and statistics information about backed up client machines and paths is reported in this view.
A filtering capability is available to only show specific client machines or paths.
