About the Backup Report

The Backup Report analyzes backed-up data and integrity checks by using a color-coded status system that readily depicts the success or failure of each attempt. The Backup Report section of the QorePortal consists of the following three pages.

Analysis

The Analysis page of the Backup Report is where you can run or schedule a report. For more information, see Creating a report schedule. This page also shows the report results.

There are three criteria available for narrowing the scope of the report:

• Time Period. When running a report, from this drop-down list you can select a time period defining the start and end time for data to be displayed in the report.

  Note: For clear definitions of each time period option, see Working with time periods in the topic Working with QorePortal reports.

  Local times are converted to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  Note: To understand the effect of UTC date conversion on the returned data set, see Understanding dates shown in QorePortal reports in the topic Working with QorePortal reports.

  
  

• Organizations. Based on your root group, from this drop-down list you can select one or more organizations to define the scope of the report.

  Note: For more information, see Working with organizations in the topic Working with QorePortal reports.

  
  
• Machines. From this drop-down list, you can choose the protected machines to include in your report. The default is to include all of the protected machines in the found set (defined by the other search criteria). This option lets you clear any machines that you do not want to include in the report.

The results of the report appear as two graphs and a table.

• The Backups graph shows the number of successfully created recovery points in green, the number of recovery points with warnings in yellow, and the number of recovery points that failed with errors in red. Data are converted to and displayed in UTC.
• The Integrity Checks graph uses the green-yellow-red color scheme to show the status and number of integrity checks performed on the repositories associated with the selected Cores. Data are converted to and displayed in UTC.
• The Backup Statistics by Machines table displays details about each protected machine included in the report, such as the amount of data (in GB) transferred as a backup, the number and ratio of failed and successful backups, and the time of the last failed and successful backups taken.

Saved Reports

The Saved Reports page of the Backup Reports area is where you can view or delete any Backup reports that you chose to save. The portal stores reports in order by creation date.

Schedules

The Schedules page stores the scheduled reports created by following the procedure in Creating a report schedule. Here, you can edit schedules and delete them.
