Backup Sets

Backup > Backup Sets

The Backup Sets page displays a list of the current backup sets you have stored, for both volumes and folders. If you specified 5 backup sets using either Schedule Volumes or Schedule Folders this page displays 5 backups sets. This page also displays all backups that have failed while trying to store up to the specified number of backup sets. You can can also:

  • Clear all backups sets for a volume or folder.

    Note: The backup sets are not actually cleared from the image location until the next full backup runs.

  • Cancel a backup in progress.
  • Click the backup link to display the log details of a backup in XML format.

    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.

The backup set table lists:

  • The End Time the backup set was completed.
  • The Type of backup: full, differential, or incremental.
  • The Duration required to perform the backup.
  • The Size of the backup.
  • Whether the backup succeeded or failed. If failed, an error message also displays.

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.

Note: See Backup Logs for a list of all backups.

Clear

Click the Clear button to manually remove all volume backup sets or folder backup sets. This might be necessary to remove a "stuck" backup set or to free up disk space.

Warning: Clears all volume backups sets or folder backup sets for a machine ID.
