Fig 2. Overview report Summary

Date and Legend Panel

  • The Summary Report page is visually divided into two panels.
  • The left panel (No 1 above) contains a Calender control(No 2 above) and a Legend sub panel (No 3 above).
  • The right panel (No 4 above) mainly contains the text of summary reports.
  • It also has a few navigational aids that are also described in the right panel discussion.

Date Calender Control

  • The Calendar control functions in the usual manner.
  • However the size of individual dates displayed is rather small to allow the Legend also to be displayed along with it.

Fig 3. Calender Control with Legend

Legend

  • The Legend differentiates between six outcomes of a Backup run.
  • These are
    • Normal Single or Multiple
    • Warning Single or Multiple Warnings in the same Backup run
    • Error Single or Multiple Errors in the same backup run

Fig 4. Various Legends

  • Normally, there will be only one Backup run on each day for a backup set.
  • However, it is possible to force multiple backups runs on one single day by doing so from the Backup Activate page where an 'Immediate Backup' button is available.
  • In that case, there will be only one Legend in the Calender Control for that date.
    • However, the Summary will contain details of all the Backups that were run that day for that Backup set.

Summary Panel

  • Besides the summary report, the right hand Report panel has the following additional aids i.e.
  • A Calender turner (No 1 below)
  • A List of Timestamps (No 2 below)
  • A scroll bar (No 3 below)
