Backup Status

Backup > Backup Status

The Backup Status page displays the status of currently available backups for a selected machine ID.

Click a machine ID to display a list of volume backups and a list of folder backups currently available. Each list displays the time each backup was completed, the disk number or volume drive letter of the backup, the backup duration, the backup size and the success or failure status of a backup attempt.

The list of machine IDs you can select depends on the Machine ID / Group ID filter. To display on this page, machine IDs must have backup software installed on the managed machine using the Backup > Install/Remove page.

View last backup log

Click the View last backup log link to display the raw log file returned by the backup subsystem running on a managed machine. Backup Status processes this log when each volume or folder backup completes. You should never need to look at this log file unless backup reports strange or unexplained failures. In those cases, the log may provide more insight into the cause of the backup failure such as identifying corrupt files or disk sectors.

Note: Bad disks may cause backup failures. Running CHKDSK.EXE on the drive in question may resolve failures.
