Email a report

Admin users and Support users can email a report in comma-separated values (.csv), Microsoft Excel (.xls) or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. The report file (named Report.csv, Report.xls or Report.pdf) is sent as an email attachment  to one or more specified recipients.

Note: The Backup Verification Report can only be emailed in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format.

Note: Most Portal reports can be emailed from the Reports page. The Job Monitor Export report, available beginning in Portal 9.20, can be emailed from the Monitor page. See View, export and email backup statuses on the Monitor page.

Reports in Microsoft Excel (.xls) and Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format are formatted using the site’s logo, color, and custom text. See Customize the Portal appearance for a site.

Admin users and Support users can also schedule reports to be emailed to one or more recipients. See Schedule an emailed report
