View and schedule reports

Admin users and Support users in Portal can view and schedule reports that provide detailed information about backups, vault space usage, and activities in a site. For descriptions of available reports, see Portal report descriptions.

The Daily Status report, which includes backup status information for the previous 24 hours, can be scheduled and emailed to users. See Daily Status Report and Schedule the Daily Status Report.

Other reports can be viewed in Server Backup Portal. Each report has a default view, which shows data for all protected computers and environments in a site. For some reports, Admin users and Support users can change the report date range, specify which data columns and records to show, and save the resulting report as a customized view. See View a report and Save a report view. Admin users and Support users can also export or email report data in comma-separated values (.csv), Microsoft Excel (.xls), or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. See Export a report, Email a report or Schedule an emailed report.

We recommend turning off macros in Microsoft Excel when using Portal, particularly if you export reports in XLS or CSV format and open these reports in Excel.

Note: Beginning in Portal 9.00, the Backup Verification, Daily Status and Custom Command reports appear on the Reports page by default. Additional configuration is required for other reports to appear. For more information or assistance, please contact your service provider or Portal administrator.
