Computer session properties

Once you have identified a session using the Backup History tab, you can use the Properties dialog box to examine backup creation results for a computer within that session.

To view properties for a computer within a session
  1. In the console tree, expand the Sessions node, and select the session.

  2. In the details pane, select the computer, and then select Action | Properties from the main menu.

  3. The dialog box that opens includes the General tab, the Events tab, and the Backup tab.

 

General tab

Displays an overall result of the computer session, indicating the reason of failure if backup creation has failed. You can click the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the information displayed on this tab to the Clipboard.

 

Events tab

Briefly describes all warning and error messages generated by RMAD when creating the computer's backup.

 

Backup tab

Lists all components that the backup includes, displays the backup description, provides the backup file path and name, and shows whether the backup is encrypted. The Backup tab is displayed only if the backup has been created for the selected computer within the selected session.

The Backed up components list displays the Active Directory® components included in the backup. The list has the following columns:

  • Component. Identifies the component; for the Registry component, individual hives are listed.

  • Original Size. Shows the size, in kilobytes, of a component on the source system, before data compression by Backup Agent.

  • Size in Backup. Shows the size, in kilobytes, of a component in the backup, after data compression by Backup Agent.

  • Compression Ratio. Show the ratio, in percents, between the component size in backup and the original component size. For example, the 25% compression ratio means 4:1 compression.
