Standard system report descriptions

This is a daily report that shows a summary status of all backup and replication jobs that have occurred on the system within the last 24 hours. This information displays in a view that is similar to the status page in the Unitrends interface. The first section of the report displays file-level and bare metal backups. The remaining sections show application-specific backups for Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, SharePoint, Oracle, UCS service profiles, Hyper-V, and VMware servers.

The color-coded columns show the backup status and replication/vaulting status for seven days. The column for the current day of the week is highlighted. Days following the current day refer to the previous week (for example, if today is Wednesday, the Thursday through Saturday columns refer to last week). A green status means that no failures or warnings occurred. Warnings are indicated by yellow. For each day, if any backup or replication operation failed for the client or application object represented by a row, that day is marked red. At the bottom of the report, there is a list of alerts from the system for the previous seven days.

A process periodically checks to see if any scheduled backups have failed in the last hour. If so, the system sends an email report to the recipients on the failure report mailing list (unless the client’s schedule was modified to not send this report). The report identifies the name of the schedule, the client and/or application object, and status information to identify the failure. More details about the failure can be obtained by logging into the system.

This report shows legacy vaulting activity during the previous 24 hours. This report displays the amount of time the Sync engine was up, the average copy transfer speed, the average patch transfer speed, and the space used on the vault.

Vaulting can occur in one of two modes:

•

Copy: A copy transfer copies the entire file to be vaulted to the system. This is the average copy transfer speed.

•

Patch: A patch transfer sends only the changed portions of the file to the vault. The average patch transfer speed is calculated as if it were a copy and the whole file was transferred. This generates an average patch transfer speed which is much higher than the average copy transfer speed.

All clients that completed a vaulting process during the previous 24 hours will be displayed with the backup number and type vaulted, the time vaulting completed, the status of the vaulting process (success or failed), the effective speed of the vaulting process, and the amount of data synced to the vault. Backups waiting to be vaulted and vaulting operations in progress are listed. Vaulting operations in progress will show a percentage complete and a projected completion time.

If an archive job is scheduled, runs, and completes, a report generates listing the clients and their associated backups that were copied to the archive target. Additionally, a report is created if an archive drive is not large enough to handle the data requested by the archive profile.

The replication report is sent daily at a time you designate when configuring replication. All successful, active, and queued replication jobs from the last 24 hours across all replication source systems are listed. Information presented in the report includes backup type, completed date and time, total elapsed replication time, size of the replicated backup in megabytes, the number of files associated with the replicated backup, and whether or not the backup was encrypted.

You can also access this report in the Unitrends Administrator Interface by selecting Reports > Replication.

As with most devices that have hard drives, there are limits on the percentage of space that the device may use. For a complete list of Unitrends systems, their raw usable capacity, and their maximum recommended backup capacity, see the appliance family DataSheet applicable to your system.

In order to provide enhanced system capacity management, your system is designed to examine the amount of disk space used daily. If the system determines that it is approaching, or has exceeded, its maximum recommended backup capacity, the system does the following:

•

Automatically suspends deduplication

•

Makes the Data Reduction Report unavailable (If you attempt to access this report you will receive a message that deduplication is supported but currently disabled.)

•

Provides an alert

These messages pro-actively inform you of your system capacity and report your Raw Usable Capacity and the current amount of space used (also shown as the Total Used amount at the bottom of your Capacity Report).

The email is sent every day, as long as the capacity condition exists. The alert is updated with any change in the value of critical data.

After your system detects that the capacity issue no longer exists and the current amount of space used is less than the maximum recommended backup, the following actions occur:

•

The alert is closed.

•

Another alert is created and displayed stating that deduplication has been re-enabled.

•

The Data Reduction Report is re-enabled.

•

You stop receiving daily capacity warning email alerts.

This is a daily report that provides details on backup and replication jobs for a manager system and for all systems that it is managing. This report is applicable only for manager systems. (See About remote system management for information about manager systems.)

The report contains details on jobs that occurred on the manager and managed systems within the last seven days, and the column for the current day of the week is highlighted. Days following the current day refer to the previous week (for example, if today is Wednesday, the Thursday through Sunday columns refer to last week). The report organizes information alphabetically by customer, location, and system.

The Management Status Report contains the following sections:

•

System summary: Summarizes the jobs on each system using color-coded columns to indicate successes (green), warnings (yellow), and failures (red). A warning indicates that 99.9% of the job completed, but less than 100%. A failure indicates that a job did not run or that more than one in one-thousand files failed to backup or replicate.

•

Alerts: Lists the alerts generated by each system.

•

Status of file-level and bare-metal backup jobs, and the replication status of these backups.

•

Status of application and virtual machine backup jobs, and the replication status of these backups.
