Viewing Backup Properties

You can view summary information about created backups. The summary information provides the following data:

• Available restore points.
• Date of restore points creation.
• Compression and deduplication ratios.
• Data size (amount of data before compression and deduplication), backup size (actual, physical amount of data stored in the repository after compression and deduplication), original size (size of the selected VM) and total size (sum of all the original sizes displayed in Objects).
• GFS retention policy applied to restore points (W — weekly; M — monthly; Y — yearly).
• Backup retention date. This column is available for backups created by VeeamZIP, export backup or copy backup and with the retention period specified.

In the Backup Properties window, you can see different icons whose meaning is described in the Infrastructure Icons section.
