# Monitoring Job Performance in Real Time

When the job is running, you can view job statistics in real time. Statistics include job progress, duration, processing rate, performance bottlenecks, the amount of read and transferred data, and other details of the job performance.

To view the job statistics, do the following:

1. In the inventory pane of the **Home** view, select the **Jobs** node.
2. In the working area, right-click a running job and click **Statistics**.
3. In the opened window, select a VM to view its statistics.

Note that the job must complete with the *Success* or *Warning* status. If the job completes with the *Failed* status, Veeam Backup & Replication does not create the backup file is not able to perform restore operations.

You can configure email notifications to get job results. For details, see the [Configuring Global Email Notification Settings](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/general_email_notifications.html?ver=13) (VMware vSphere) and [Configuring Global Email Notification Settings](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/general_email_notifications.html?ver=13) (Microsoft Hyper-V) sections in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
