Monitoring Backup State with Tray Agent

The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows icon displayed in the system tray lets you monitor the state of your backups and get informed about the computer protection status.

The icon can be in one of the following states:

Icon	Description	Backup state
	Question mark over the icon	The backup job is not configured.
	Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows icon	The backup job is set up but scheduling settings for the job are not configured.
	Animated icon	The backup task is being performed. To view the backup task progress, hover the mouse over the icon.
	Clock over the icon	The backup job has been scheduled; waiting for the first backup job session. The latest session of the scheduled backup job has completed successfully; waiting for the next backup job session.
	Sync sign over the icon	Veeam Agent is uploading backup files from the backup cache to the target storage.
	Cancel sign over the icon	The latest session of the scheduled backup job has been canceled.
	Error sign over the icon	An error occurred during the latest backup job session, and the session was terminated.
	Minus sign over the icon	The scheduled backup job is disabled.
	Grey icon	The tray agent is not connected to the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows service.
	Warning sign over the icon	The backup job has completed with a warning, for example, the target location is running low on space. [If you have selected a removable storage device as a target destination in the backup job settings] The target removable storage device is not connected to the computer. In this case, Veeam Agent also displays a warning on the notifications bar in the control panel. You can attach the target removable storage device to the computer within 10 minutes, and Veeam Agent will automatically start the scheduled backup job.
