Backup History report
The Backup History report contains backup results of all protected and unprotected assets within the selected date range for the selected appliance(s).
After generating the report, you can view the details of a specific job by clicking it in the grid. This opens the Backup Status: Report Entry dialog. For file-level backups, you can click Details in this dialog to view and/or export a list of files contained in the backup.
When finished, click Report Categories in the upper left to return to the Available Reports page.

An example report is given here. Refer to the table below for a description of the available report columns. Not all columns display by default. To customize your output, click the icon to the right of the column header.
