Backup activity and statistics

On the Activity tab and the Backup tab, you can view additional information on a backup, such as backup history and file types the backup contains. The Activity tab contains a list of operations performed on the selected backup starting from its creation, the operation statuses, and statistics. This comes in handy when you need to find out what was happening to the backup in background mode, for example the number and statuses of scheduled backup operations, size of backed-up data, etc.

When you create the first version of a backup, the Backup tab displays a graphical representation of the backup content by file types.

The Activity tab

Nonstop backup and mobile backups do not have an activity feed.

To view a backup activity:

1. On the sidebar, click Backup.
2. In the backup list, select the backup, the history of which you want to view.
3. On the right pane, click Activity.

   

What you can view and analyze:

• Backup operations and their statuses (successful, failed, canceled, interrupted, and so on)
• Operations performed on the backup, and their statuses
• Error messages

  • Backed up—Size of backed-up data, with compression.
  • Speed—Backup operation speed.
