Job History

This report provides advanced information on completed backup and replication job sessions, and helps you identify possible performance bottlenecks.

  • The Top 5 Jobs by Average Duration (Hours) and Top 5 Jobs by Transferred Data (GB) charts display top 5 jobs in terms of the longest backup duration and the largest amount of transferred data. This information allows you to keep an eye on the most intense backup operations and make a decision whether to perform additional configuration of the jobs.
  • The Successful Backup Ratio by Day (%) chart displays the percentage of backup and replication job sessions that completed successfully during the reporting period. If a job session finished with warning but a restore point was created successfully, the job will be displayed as successful.
  • The Details table provides information on each performed backup and replication job: session start time and job duration, the amount of transferred data, the completion status.

Click the Job Name link or a link in the Protected VMs column to drill down to the list of VMs included in the job and their individual backup success properties.
