Backup Status

The Backup Status view displays backup details for the database, such as the data size and the date and time of the most recent backup of any type for the database.

* 
NOTE: The summarized value of the data size and the log size indicates the anticipated size of the backup file.
 
Table 35. The Backup Status view displays the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
dbid

ID of the database, unique within an instance of SQL Server.

Database Name

Name of the database, unique within an instance of SQL Server.

Status

The database’s current status (for example, ONLINE, OFFLINE, RESTORING, or SUSPECT).

Data Size

The total size allocated to data files.

Log Size

The total size allocated to log files.

Last Backup

The date and time of the most recent backup operation.

Last Backup Full Time

The date and time when the most recent full database backup of any type took place.

Last Backup Differential Time

The date and time when the most recent differential database backup of any type took place.

Last Backup Log Time

The date and time when the most recent database log backup of any type took place.

NOTE: The Last Backup Full, Differential, and Log Time columns are not displayed by default; to view these columns, click the Customizer button at the right side of the table.

Properties

The Properties view displays database properties that correspond to the data returned by the SQL Server DatabasePropertyEx function. For more information about these properties, see the Transact-SQL Reference section in Microsoft® SQL Server Books Online.

In Memory

The In Memory view displays metrics on space usage by objects in memory. To view details for a specific database, click on the database row. Detailed metrics will be displayed below the table.

Monitoring Database Details

You can display detailed data for a database. by selecting the database row in any one of the tables displayed on the Overview, Transactions, Backup Status, Properties or In Memory tabs.

The Database Details panel allows carrying out the following tasks:

•
Monitoring database space and history — using the Summary pane, which displays a graphical representation of the disk space usage for databases, as well as various statistics for each database. For further details, see Monitoring Database History .
•
Monitoring file groups — using the File Groups pane; see Monitoring File Groups in the Selected Databases .
•
Monitoring data files — using the Data Files pane, which displays all files (excluding the Transaction Log) in the selected databases; see Monitoring data files .
•
Monitoring transaction logs — using the Transaction Logs pane; see Monitoring Transaction Logs in the Selected Database .
•
Monitoring log files using the Log Files pane; see Monitoring Log Files .
•
Monitoring tables — using the Tables & Indexes pane, which displays statistics for all tables and indexes in the selected databases (by default, 50 rows are displayed); see Monitoring Tables and Indexes .
* 
NOTE: The panes from File Groups to Tables and Indexes display tabular and graphical information about other areas down the storage level hierarchy, currently selected in the Databases table. The charts on each of these panes display the amount of space allocated to the area for each selected database (Space Chart), and the amount by which each of the areas is growing over time (Growth Chart).
•
Monitoring disk space — using the Disk Space pane, which displays each logical disk on the server, with a detailed graphical representation of the disk space usage for all disk. For further details, see Monitoring Disk Space .
