LiteSpeed for SQL Server 8.9.8 - Installation Guide

View Backup Manager Activity and History

The LiteSpeed UI Console provides information about your backup processes in the Backup Manager tabs. Depending on what tree level and tab you select, you can view statistics on processes that fail or succeed, the amount of disk space you save, a list of all of the jobs for a server instance or database, and additional information.

Troubleshooting: If you upgraded from a previous version of LiteSpeed, the timeline may not automatically display all of your activity. For more information, see 4.x jobs not displayed. on what could be missing and how to fix it.

You can view the backup activity and history by selecting the Backup Manager Server Tools Ribbon. Information about a category, subcategory, database, server instance, server group, or all of your server instances by selecting the appropriate level in the tree.

Tips:

  • To view information about backups performed on all availability group replicas select any database replica of the availability group at the Backup ManagerServer tree.
  • Instance Name column shows in case of availability group replica has been selected in Server tree.

Backup Analyzer

Database

Analyzes different settings, such as compression level, striping, and backup destinations, to determine which settings have the best compression and duration values. For more information, see Test Optimal Backup Settings.

You can group server instances in the navigation pane tree based on their category or server group. Categories are similar to server groups, but they offer different features. For more information, see Change Server Instance Grouping Methods. 

Tip: For panes that have grids, you can sort, group, move, and remove the columns:

  • To sort and group the records, right-click a column header and select the appropriate options.
  • To sort records against multiple columns, click column headers while holding the SHIFT key. For example, to sort by type and then by name, click the Type column header and then SHIFT+click the Name column header.
  • To add or remove columns, right-click a column header and select Column Chooser. Add a column by dragging it from the list into the column headers. Remove a column by dragging its column header into the list.
  • To move a column, drag the column header to the new location.
  • After you refine the report criteria, you can print the results or export them to Excel. In addition, the tab has a timeline that displays the activity for the selected parameters by their date.
