Monitor Backups

Monitoring Backups

The Monitor page shows the progress of backup run. The Backup run goes through various phases. Each phase is displayed and time taken by each phase is displayed when it is completed. It is possible to abort a backup run when it is absolutely necessary. The backup will stop at the next appropriate time (most likely at the beginning of the next phase). The cancel button will appear during the backup run. The client process are not terminated and will have to be terminated manually.

The Monitor page is divided into two panels.

• The left panel (No. 1 above) shows a statistical view of backup processes.
• The right panel (No. 2 above) displays a step-by-step view of processes.
