Status | Description |
Last Status | The last status of the backup policy. The status details vary, depending on whether you select an Edge, server, or VM. • Succeeded - The last time the backup policy was executed, it completed successfully with no errors. A caution icon (exclamation point) next to the Succeeded message indicates that although the status shows as Succeeded, one or more of the last five backups has failed. Expand the backup policy to view the details. • Partially Succeeded - One or more of the configured backups has failed. • Failed - All of the configured backups have failed. There are several possible reasons for this failure: • Unable to connect to proxy server. • Unable to take snapshot on storage. • Unable to mount the datastore. • Unable to register the VMs. • Not Configured - This Edge or server isn’t included in any backup policy. • Never Succeeded - This backup policy has never been executed correctly. • No Operations Completed - This backup policy has not been triggered yet. • No VMs detected for this server - No VMs have been detected for this backup policy. • No Servers detected for this Edge - No servers have been detected for this Edge. |
Last Successful | The date and time of the last successful backup. |
Status | Any success or failure messages related to the policy (if the Edge isn’t expanded). Some sample status messages include: • All recent backups succeeded. • All recent backups succeeded on all VMs. • All recent backups succeeded on all servers. • The first scheduled backup for any VM on this Edge has not yet completed. • The first scheduled backup for any VM on this server has not yet completed. |
Backup Policy Details | Expand a VM to view its backup policy details: • Backup Policy - The name of the current backup policy. • Most Current Protection - The date and time of the last successful backup. • History - The number of backups that have reached the Core (up to five are displayed), and their details. If Core has returned from a WAN outage, protection operations triggered during that time are displayed as Skipped. • Backup Proxy - The IP address of the VMware ESXi server used in this backup policy. • Backup Schedule - The currently configured backup schedule. Note: In an Edge high availability (HA) setup, if a protection operation is triggered on a backup policy on the active Edge, and an Edge HA failover occurs within approximately 30 seconds of triggering it, the protection operation will fail with the error “Nothing to Protect.” The protection operation will succeed the next time it is triggered. |
