Computers with no Archive Copy

The main purpose of backup is to protect your data against disasters and agents failures. Having only one copy of a backup file does not provide the necessary level of safety. To build a successful data protection and disaster recovery plan, you must have at least three copies of your data, for example, production data, backup and its copy, and two different types of media to store copies of your data, for example, disk storage and tape.

To learn more about the 3-2-1 backup strategy, see the Veeam Blog article How to follow the 3-2-1 backup rule with Veeam Backup & Replication.

This report highlights all agents that do not have backup copies archived to tapes.

Computers with no Archive Copy Note:

This report does not consider backups stored on cloud backup repositories.

The Summary section includes the following elements:

The Computers Archive Status pie chart displays the number of agents with and without archive copy.
The Backup Location Type chart displays the types of backup target locations.

The Details table provides information on computers with and without archive copy, name of a backup job or policy, backup source, backup target and the date of the latest backup.

RPO (Recovery Point Objective): defines the maximum amount of data that you may accept to lose, expressed in time.

Show agents with no primary backup within RPO: defines whether to include in the report agents without primary backup that is valid within the defined RPO value.

Use Case

This report helps backup administrators check whether agents are protected with backup copies stored on secondary backup repositories and on tape.
