# Viewing Archival Policy Sessions

For each performed archival operation, Veeam Backup for Salesforce starts a new session according to the created archival polices, and stores the session details in the product database. You can track real-time statistics of all running and completed operations on the **Archive** tab. To view the full list of tasks executed during an operation, click the link in the **Status** column.

<a id="archive_session"></a>The **Archival Sessions** section of the **Archive** tab displays information on all sessions of the archival policy. Each session is described with the following set of properties:

- **Session ID** — the ID assigned to the session.
- **Test Run** — the indication whether the policy was launched in the [test mode](add_archival_policy_options.md#test_mode).
- **Start** **Date** — the date and time when the session started.
- **Finish Date** — the date and time when the session ended.
- **Status** — the current status of the session.
- **Result** — the explanation why Veeam Backup for Salesforce failed to process the records (applies only to sessions with the *Warning* and *Error* statuses).
- **Processed Objects** — the total number of objects processed during the session.
- **API Usage** — the total number of API calls sent during the session.
- **Archived Records** — the total number of Salesforce records archived during the session.
- **Failed** — the total number of Salesforce records that Veeam Backup for Salesforce failed to process.

::: note

You can restore records archived during a specific archival session. To do that, choose the necessary session in the **Archival Sessions** section, click **Start Restore** and complete the **Restore Records** wizard as described in section [Restoring Records](restore_record_create.md).

<a id="session_details"></a>The **Session Details** section of the **Archive** tab displays information on all objects included in a specific policy session. Each object is described with the following set of properties:

- **Object / Event** — the name of the archived object.

  Veeam Backup for Salesforce will display only those parent objects that are linked to the archived object using master-detail relationships.

- **Start Time** — the date and time when Veeam Backup for Salesforce started a new task to process the object.
- **Status** — the current status of the task.
- **Result** — the explanation why Veeam Backup for Salesforce failed to process the records (applies only to tasks with the *Warning* and *Error* statuses).

- **Archived Records** — the total number of Salesforce records archived during the task.
- **Failed** — the total number of Salesforce records that Veeam Backup for Salesforce failed to process.
