This section explains how to work with backup plan compliance reports. These reports show how well the backup/recovery appliance is complying with the service level agreements that you have assigned to your applications.
Backup plan compliance reports include:
Daily protection status
This reports shows whether any snapshot, StreamSnap, and OnVault jobs succeeded with consistency dates corresponding to the dates shown in the report. The number of color slots shown will depend on the policy types used for each appliance, representing snapshot, StreamSnap and OnVault status. Direct to OnVault jobs are considered as OnVault. It only looks at policies with a daily schedule.
Column descriptions
