Snapshot of last 10 backups

This table provides summary of the last 10 backup schedules executed by the client. The table has the following details:

• Backup Name - The name of the backup schedule

• Backup Server(s) - Backup server on to which this backup schedule backs up. If a backup schedule backs up to more than one server, then it will be represented as a separate row in the table. That is, each row in this table represents a backup report for a backup operation to a single server.

• Last Backup - The time at which the Last backup was done on to the backup server for this backup schedule.

• Total Files Listed - The total number of files listed by GigaVaultStorage for backup.

• Unprocessed Files - The number of files that were listed by GigaVaultStorage but not backed up. GigaVaultStorage makes a list of files to be backed up and simultaneously starts backing up the listed files one at a time. If the GigaVaultStorage client abruptly stops backing up, then may not be few unprocessed files – the files that GigaVaultStorage listed for backup but could not complete backing up the files. Some of the reasons why the GigaVaultStorage client would stop backing up abruptly are listed below:

  1. Client exceeded the allotted backup space on server.
  2. No drive space available in the server.
  3. Active backup schedule was aborted at the Server side.
  4. Active backup schedule was suspended in the client.
  5. GigaVaultStorage was stopped in the server or the client side.

• Protected Files - Total number of files that have successfully backed up.

• Skipped Files - The number of files that could not be backed up. Some of the reasons a file may not be backed up are:

  1. The file is being modified.
  2. The file did not have appropriate permissions and hence could not be read.

• Skipped Folders - The number of folders that could not be backed up. Some of the reasons why a folder may not be backed up are:

  1. The folder did not have appropriate permissions for GigaVaultStorage to read.
  2. The folder may have been modified while GigaVaultStorage is trying to backup it up.
  3. The folder may have been temporarily available when GigaVaultStorage listed the folders to backup but was later not available when GigaVaultStorage tried to backup.

• Success Rate - This gives the percentage of total files that were successfully backed up.

Select Columns Icon - This will list the available columns and user can select the columns to be displayed in the table.

Client Activity [ current ]

This table provides a summary of current activity (up to 10 records). The table has the following details:

• Backup Schedule - The name of the backup schedule

• Backup Server(s) - Backup server on to which this backup schedule backs up.

• Status - This shows the backup/restore/deletion status - a green icon indicates an operation in progress.

Limitations

1. If the client's backup space allocation is edited on the backup server, the bar chart will be updated (to reflect the change) only after the client connects to the server again.
