Reports

The My Reports view is a gateway to creating, editing, and distributing custom reports. There are several report types:

As you create reports, the documents nest under the node of the relevant report type. When you create a backup job, you can configure a report to display in the body of an email. The report indicates which jobs were run, which succeeded, and which failed. You can also schedule a report to run, save it as a PDF, and send it as an email attachment.

Report information is organized by VM and includes when backups, replicates and restores were run, who ran them, and the status of each. You can create a report for results from one or multiple VMs. Reports can contain customized metrics — for example, date range (day, month), status (successful, failed, stopped). You can run reports when you create them or you can schedule them to be generated later.

For information on the layout of the My Reports view, see My Reports view.

Generating a report using the Report Wizard

Through the Report Wizard, you can generate reports that are filtered by date/time and status. For example, you can generate a report that includes only backup or restore tasks or jobs that failed over the last 10 days.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to schedule a report using the Report Wizard.

On the Report Filter page, enter the information as described in the following table.

Date Range

Narrow report data using these fields:

Over the last: Enter the number in the first field and select Days or Months from the drop-down list — the default is 30 days.
Between: Click this option button to enable the two drop-down date lists. Click each to display a calendar from which you can select a date range.

Machine/Source Repository

Machine: Select a machine type — to restrict report data.
Source: From this drop-down list, you can select All or any individual source. All licensed, available sources are listed here.
Repository: This drop-down list allows you to filter the report results by repository.

Duration

In this section, you can enter a number in the Greater than or equal to __ minutes field. The value you enter restricts the report to include only jobs that occurred within that time limit —  the default is 0.

Job Status

The check boxes available in this section refer to the status of any job that you might include in reports. Available values are: Completed, Failed, Aborted, and Cancelled.

NOTE: Because Jobs cannot fail (Tasks within Jobs can), searching for Job Status - Failed yields no results. To generate a list of unsuccessful activities, search for Task Status - Failed.
