The list of jobs shows all backup, replication, SureBackup, backup copy, backup to tape, SQL database transaction log backup, Oracle database backup, file to tape, VM copy and file copy jobs for the backup infrastructure level that you selected in the inventory pane.
For every job, the following details are available:
- Status — the latest status of the job (Success, Warning, Failed, Running, or jobs with no status)
- Name — job name
- Type — job type (Backup, Replication, SureBackup, Backup Copy, Backup to Tape, File Copy, File to Tape, VM Copy, SQL database transaction log or Oracle database backup jobs)
- Last Run — date and time when the job was performed for the last time
- Duration — time taken to complete the job during its latest run
- Avg. Duration (Last Month) — average time it took to complete the job (total job duration time for the previous month divided by the number of times the job ran)
- Transferred Data (GB) — amount of backup data that was transferred to the target destination (backup repository or replication target datastore/volume) during the latest job run
|
The “No info” label indicates that no information is available for the job because data has not been collected yet. |
By analyzing job details, you can reveal potential problems with the efficiency of data protection operations.
For example, if job duration has significantly increased in comparison with the average monthly duration value, while there are no noticeable changes to the amount of transferred data, you might need to investigate the root cause. Such a behavior might evidence that the job has to wait for proxy resources, which increases the backup window.
