Server Side Backup Reports

How to get here in the StoreGrid Web Console?
  In the top menu, select: "Server Admin->Customer Management" and click on the "Customer Name" in this customer row. This lists the clients under this customer. Click on the "Client Name" in this client row. This lists the backup schedules for this client. Click on the "Backup Schedule Name" to fetch this backup schedule reports. Now click on the "Backup Report" tab.

This page gives a historical report of backups done by the client to the server as part of this backup schedule. The report is shown in a table format with each row representing a backup done by the client. If there are multiple full backups done, then the top row will appear with a plus (+) sign. Clicking on the plus sign will show the incremental backups done between two successive full backups.

The description of the columns in the report table are given below:

Start Time - The time at which the backup started.

End Time - The time at which the backup ended.

Added Files - The number of new files backed up in this schedule. Note that this is the total number of files backed up whenever a full backup was done.

Deleted Files - The number of deleted files backed up. Note that this number is zero for all full backups. Only for incremental backups this can have a positive value.

Modified Files - The number of modified files backed up. Note that this number is zero for all full backups. Only for incremental backups this can have a positive value.

Skipped Files - The number of files (that were new or modified since last backup) that StoreGrid failed to backup during this schedule. Clicking on the 'View' link will take you to a page which lists the files that were skipped and the reason StoreGrid skipped the files.

Skipped Folders - The number of folders that could not be backed up. Some of the reasons why a folder may not be backed up are:

1. The folder did not have appropriate permissions for StoreGrid to read.

2. The folder may have been modified while StoreGrid is trying to backup it up.

3. The folder may have temporarily available when StoreGrid listed the files/folders to backup but was later not available when StoreGrid tried to backup.

   Clicking on the 'View' link will take you to a page which lists the folders that were skipped and the reason StoreGrid skipped the folders.

Used Space Added - The amount of disk space that was used up in the server by the new files and by the new versions of existing files backed up during this schedule.

Used Space Removed - The amount of disk space that was occupied by the file versions that were deleted during this backup schedule. For example, if the backup schedule was configured to retain 5 versions and if the 6th version of a file was added during this backup schedule, then the first version of the file will be deleted. If the first version was of say 30KB, then that 30KB will be included in the Used Space Removed.

Change in Used Space - This is the difference between the Used Space Added and Used Space Removed. A positive value indicates that additional disk space was used up in this backup schedule. If the Change in Used Space is negative, then the size of the deleted file versions was more than the size of the new files and new versions added during the schedule.

Size of Uncompressed Added/Modified Data - The original size (as exists in client) of the new files or new file versions created during the schedule.

Remarks - The final result of the backup operation. Whether successful, failure, or incomplete etc.

Delete Button - The "Delete Button" is meant for deleting a older full backup data. If you have more than one full backup present in the server, then you have the option of deleting the older ones manually from this interface. Choose the full backup to be deleted by checking the corresponding check box in the table and click the "Delete Button".
