Backup job summary
This report provides a backup job summary for the appliances configured with Report Manager. The summary contains tabular data that shows the job count based on all the job type, snapshot, remote, StreamSnap, OnVault, log backup, and log replicate jobs. It also provides the job status as Succeeded, Failed, Running, Canceled, and Not Run for each appliance. The Summary row displays the enterprise job count.
There are two sets of summary charts based on aggregated data for all job types: snapshot, remote, StreamSnap, OnVault, and log replicate.
Two dual level pie graphs: One graph represents appliance-wise job counts for the mentioned job types. (For the top five appliances, it shows that each appliance is aggregated into a single group called other Appliances.) The other representing job counts for job types with the corresponding statuses.
Line chart: Shows the trend over time for job count by status. (Optional controlled by show time series graphs input control.)
The report also provides an option to drill down within the backup job details report. This capability is provided in the appliance name and job count in the table, as well as the data points in the column chart and the line chart.
