Report Output

The report will display information on the status of backup and replication tasks for the previous week.

The VM Backup Status chart will display how many times backup and replication tasks completed successfully, ended with warnings or failed on each day of the previous week.

The report table will provide a list of protected VMs and display daily backup or replication results. If backup or replication tasks for the same VM were performed several times a day, the report will show the best completion status.
