Daily Status Report

The Daily Status Report includes backup status information for the previous 24 hours, including missed and skipped backups and running jobs for computers where Agent version 8.0 or later is installed. Beginning in Portal 9.0, the Daily Status report also indicates whether potential ransomware threats were detected during backups.

Note: The Daily Status report cannot be viewed in Portal. It can only be scheduled and emailed to users. See Schedule the Daily Status Report.

The following table lists and describes data that is available in the Daily Status Report.

Daily Status Report Data Column Description

Parent Site

Parent company or service provider that owns or manages the Agent

Site

Child company that owns the Agent (if applicable)

Agent

Computer being protected (or where the backup ran)

Job

Backup job

Event Start

Date and time when the backup started

Event Stop

Date and time when the backup ended (if applicable)

Event Safeset

Numeric value of the safeset which was attempted in the backup. If the backup failed, this safeset was not committed to the vault and the next event will have the same safeset number. The safeset number is not incremented until a backup is committed. 

Event Type

Indicates whether the backup was scheduled, run ad-hoc or triggered.

Event Status

Status of the event. Possible values include:

  • Cancelled — The backup was cancelled by a user before it was completed.

  • In Progress —The backup was in progress when the report was run.

  • Completed —The backup started and successfully completed.

  • Completed with Warnings —The backup started and completed but with some warnings.

  • Completed with Errors — The backup started and completed but with some errors.

  • Deferred — The backup successfully committed but some data was deferred.

  • Failed — The backup started but failed to complete.

  • Vault license limit reached — The backup failed because there were no available licenses on the vault.

  • No files were backed up — The backup failed because there were no files available to be backed up.

  • Schedule Disabled — All schedules for the job have been disabled.

  • Offline — The job's Agent was offline at the time when the report was run.

  • Missed — The job was scheduled to run but did not run according to its schedule. This could occur if the Agent system was shut down or backup services on the Agent were stopped. 

  • Skipped — The job was scheduled to run multiple times per day but was skipped. See Skipped backups.

Potential Threat

Indicates whether a potential ransomware threat was detected during the backup. Possible values include:

  • Undefined — The agent does not support threat detection. "Undefined" is the only possible Potential Threat value for an agent that does not support ransomware threat detection.

  • Disabled — Ransomware threat detection was not enabled in the backup job.

  • Not Detected — Ransomware threat detection was enabled in the backup job but a potential ransomware threat was not detected during the backup.

  • Detected — A potential ransomware threat was detected during the backup. See Manage potential ransomware threats.

  • Not Run — Ransomware threat detection did not run during the backup, even though it was enabled in the backup job. This can occur, for example, if the operating system is not supported for threat detection. No further action is required.

  • Error — An error occurred during ransomware threat detection during the backup. Please check the logs for more information and try to resolve the issue. In a vSphere backup, an error can occur if the specified VM credentials are not correct, a VM is offline or unresponsive, or VMware Tools is not installed.

Retention

Name of the retention type used for the backup.  

Options

Options used for the backup. This is applicable only to some SQL Server and Exchange backup types. 

For SQL Server, this will indicate if the backup was a Full, Full with transaction logs, or an Incremental only backup. 

For Exchange, this will indicate if it was a Full or Incremental backup and if the backup also verified the database. 

Original Size

Total amount of source data which was included in the backup

Modified Size (Delta)

Amount of changed data protected in this backup

OTW Data Size (Compressed)

Amount of data sent over the wire

Deferred Data Size

Approximate amount of data which was selected to be backed up but could not be completed within the defined backup window and was therefore deferred to a following backup. This generally only occurs on an initial backup or when re-seeding a job when the amount of data to be protected is more than what can be processed and transmitted within a single backup window. 

Most Recent Job Status

Most recent status of the job. For jobs which run multiple times in a day, this is the latest result for the job. 

Last Event Date

Date and time of the most recent event for the job

Last Committed Safeset Date

Date and time of the last completed backup which committed a safeset to the vault.

Current Safeset

Numeric value of the last completed backup which committed a safeset to the vault.
