Top Nodes with Failed Backups Report - Report Benefits

You can use this report to focus on the nodes with the most Failed Count and try to determine why this is occurring. It is important to analyze the results from all fields of this report when attempting to determine problem nodes.

For example, if you just focus on number of failures, it may be a false indication of a problem area because if a node failed 3 times, but was successful 30 times (a 10% failure rate), it may be less of a problem than a node that failed only 2 times but was successful just 3 times (a 40% failure rate).

In addition, the number of days since the last successful backup could provide an indication of problem areas if it shows a pattern of recent failures.

For example, if a node failed 10 times, but the last successful backup was only 1 day ago, it may be less of a problem than a node that failed 5 times, but the last successful backup was 7 days ago.

Note: An "N/A" displayed in this field indicates that the data is Not Applicable and means that there has not been a successful backup of this node during the specified time period.
