Reports include units of measure which make it easier to determine if a column is represented in GB, TB, or in seconds.
If you are not satisfied with the appearance of a generated or exported report, you can change the font used in the reports. For more information, see Managing report settings.
Once a report is generated, you can use the reports toolbar, as described in the topic Using the Reports toolbar.
After you generate it from the Reports menu, the report appears below a Reports toolbar. The toolbar can help you manipulate report output, including saving and printing the reports.
On the left of the toolbar, there is a Toggle sidebar option. This tool expands or contracts the sidebar, giving access to a few more display options.

For information about generating a report, see Generating reports from the Core Console.
The Job report is available for the Rapid Recovery and for machines protected on the Core. This report provides you with a method to view the status of jobs performed by a selected Core or a protected machine. Rows or columns of data that appear in the report with no data indicate that the tested parameter was null. For example, if a column (such as Errors) appears with no information, then no errors are occurred for the selected record. If the report generates a blank row, the job for the selected record reflects machine-independent activity.
For information on how to generate a Job report from the Core, see Generating a Core report on demand. For information on how to generate a Job report for a protected machine, see Generating a protected machine report on demand.
When you generate a Job report, report details include the following:
- Selection criteria for the report
- A summary table showing a row for each job in the date range you specified. In addition to listing the appropriate Core, protected machine, and job type, each row includes:
- A summary of the job
- The job status
- Any errors related to the job
- The start and end dates for the job
- The job duration in seconds
- The total work in MB
If information is not relevant for a specific category, that cell appears with no information in the report. For example, if the Core for a specified protected machine has no errors, the Error column is blank for that row in the report.
The Job Summary report is available when reporting from the Core perspective only; this report is not available from reports for a protected machine. This report has a single summary, showing summary information about all jobs performed on the Core, including a count of failed, passed, and canceled jobs. It shows more detail than the Job report, because it specifies each job as a separate line in the report.
For information on how to generate a Job Summary report, see Generating reports from the Core Console.
Report parameters for this report type include:
- Date range
- Protected machines
- Job types
When you generate a Job Summary report, report details include selection criteria for the report, as well as information about protected machines, volumes, and job types.
Core information
The Core portion of the Summary Report includes data regarding the Rapid Recovery Core being reported. This information includes:
- The number of machines protected in the Rapid Recovery Core
- The number of machines with failed jobs
Protected machines summary
The Protected machines portion of the Summary report includes data for all machines protected by the selected Rapid Recovery Core, and the volumes on those machines.
The chart shows a line for each job type for each machine, and includes the ratio of successful jobs (of any type), number of jobs passed, number of jobs failed, and canceled jobs. (Canceled jobs are not considered for these statistics.)
