Backup/Restore Statistics

Daily activity

First, you'll see a daily summary of the backup and restore operations for the last month. This view is called "Daily Summary" and is the default view. You can switch the report between four views.

Backup Size

This view shows separate columns for each backup made to the virtual machine. Thanks to this, you can easily determine what data increase.

Backup Time

A very useful report. It allows you to determine the required window length for backups or, based on the time of individual phases, it is easy to deduce the cause of slow backups.

Transfer Rate (Backup)

One of the latest reports, now you can easily see how fast data transfer is.

Restore Time

A view with the same properties as "Backup Time". It allows us to estimate how long it will take to restore the machine in the event of a failure.

Transfer Rate (Restore)

As in the previous case, we also have the transfer speed for the restore job.

Events Calendar

The calendar extends the possibilities of adjacent statistics. It allows you to neatly define the range of days you want to see, additionally makes a quick summary of the number of backups and restores (top right corner). Blue - the sum of all backups, Green - the sum of successes, Red - the sum of failures.

Bottom menu

In the bottom menu, you can find many tabs, each of which will present different information or will allow you to restore one or more objects from the selected user, site, team.

Backup History

This tab shows information about all backups made, as well as information about failed, removed (because of retention), or currently executing backups.

Restore History

This tab is similar to "Backup History". This is a list with basic information about restores performed. When you open the details of the selected restore, you will see more detailed information.

Schedules

In this tab, you can see all the schedules assigned to this entity.

Protected data

In this tab, you can see all backup data, which you can select for restore or download.

You can always use the filters to move back in time to select the exact moment from the calendar and restore or download data.

Note. If you are restoring to another path, provide the name of the library first.
