Viewing Backup Reports
One way to quickly make others aware of the results of last night’s backup is to send them the
reports providing information about the backup. These reports can be sent manually or you can
configure Reporting to e-mail these reports automatically to a list of user accounts. The two main
reports you would want to send them are the following:
• Daily Backup Job Report - Provides the status of the jobs that have occurred in the last 24
hours.
• Daily Failed or Partial Backup Job Report - Provides information only about the job that is
partial or has failed.
The following information is provided for both reports:
• Name of the backup server
• Job identifier
• Client name
• Status of the job - successful, partial or failed
• Size of the job in gigabytes (GB)
• Result of the job
To access these reports:
1. Access Reporting as described in ” Accessing Reporting ” on page 432.
2. Expand the tree in Reporting.
3. Expand the Reporting > Backup Manager nodes.
4. Click one of the following in the Reporting tree:
• Daily Backup Job Report
• Daily Failed or Partial Backup Job Report
5. To e-mail a report, click the E-mail Report button.
