Monitoring Backup Status

Monitor the progress of a current backup or review a recent backup from the Administration > Backup/Restore Configuration > Backup Status tab.

The Backup Status tab displays the latest backup processes and their details. The status of a backup in progress is updated every 20 seconds.

The Status/Operation column indicates the status of the operation and the type of the operation - backup or restore.

The Location column displays the backup or restore location.
Note: In case of SAN backup, the location of the previous backup might be displayed in the Location column.

The Files Completed/Total column displays the number of files backed up and the total files. However, after restoring a full backup, the value changes to 0/0 even though the restore is complete.

The Details column indicates the phases of the backup process as they progress. These are high-level process phases, similar to the comment fields that appear in the backup log.

Note: Sometimes you might see a message, CAN NOT FIND EXACT MATCH MIDNIGHT DIRECTORY, in the Details column. This message is harmless and can be ignored.

To view the step-by-step detailed log of a listed backup process, including one currently processing, click its Start Time End Time entry. The complete log of the selected process appears.
