Backup plans and tasks

The Backup plans and tasks view keeps you informed of data protection on the machines registered on the management server. This view displays the centralized backup plans that exist on the management server, the management server's and the storage nodes' tasks.

To check whether the data is successfully protected on the machines the centralized plan is deployed to, inspect the cumulative status of the plan.

To find out whether a centralized backup plan is currently being deployed, removed, or updated, check the deployment state of the plan. In each of the states, the backup plan can have one of the following statuses: Error; Warning; OK.

To keep track of a task's current progress, examine its state. Check a task status to ascertain the result of a task.

Typical workflow

• Use filters to display the desired backup plans (tasks) in the backup plans table. By default, the table displays all the plans of the managed machine sorted by name. Additionally, you can hide the unneeded columns and show the hidden ones. For more information, see Sorting, filtering and configuring table items.
• In the table, select the backup plan (task).
• Use the toolbar's buttons to take an action on the selected plan (task). See the Actions on centralized backup plans and tasks section for details.
• To review detailed information on the selected plan (task), use the information panel at the bottom of the window. The panel is collapsed by default. To expand the panel, click the arrow mark (). The content of the panel is also duplicated in the Plan details and Task details windows respectively.
