Node Backup Status Report View

The Node Backup Status Report can be displayed as either a pie chart or as a bar chart.

This report contains the following filters:

• Servers--Specifies All or specific nodes added from CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager.
• Groups--Specifies All or specific application types and names of the CA ARCserve Backup and CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager default and custom groups.
• Node Name--Indicates the name of the agent node or the member server for CA ARCserve Backup or the name of the CA ARCserve D2D node.
  • For power-on virtual machines protected by CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup, this field displays the host name of the virtual machine in the report results.
  • For power-off virtual machines protected by CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup, this field displays 'Unknown (virtual machine name)' in the report results.
  • Note: You cannot filter this report by searching for the word 'Unknown', however, to search for 'Unknown' Node Names, leave the Node Name filter blank to return all Node Name results or power-on the virtual machine to be detected.
• Node Tier--Specifies the tier category for the nodes you want to monitor. This will filter all reports based upon the selected node tier.

  The Node tier field contains a drop-down menu listing each tier category to select from: High Priority, Medium Priority, and Low Priority.

  Note: The tier for CA ARCserve D2D nodes is Medium Priority.

• Last (number of) Days--Specifies a preset listing of the most commonly used data collection time periods (1, 3, 7 (default), and 30 days) to select from. You can also manually enter a value in this field.

Note: By default, CA ARCserve Backup only retains Activity Log information for 14 days. If you want CA ARCserve Central Reporting to display Activity Log information for more than 14 days, you must modify the "Prune activity logs older than" option to increase the log retention period. For more information about modifying Activity Log settings, see the Administration Guide.

Pie Chart

The pie chart provides a high-level overview of nodes that were backed up for all days of the specified time period. The status categories shown in the pie chart represent a percentage of the total number of nodes that were backed up during the last specified number of days, with the most recent backup status being considered for every node.

Bar Chart

The bar chart provides a more detailed level view of the nodes that were backed up for each day of the specified time period. The status categories shown in the bar chart represent the daily number of nodes that were backed up during the last specified number of days.

Note: By default, CA ARCserve Central Reporting only displays bar chart information for a maximum of 90 days. Increasing the number of displayed days to more than 90 days would result in the bar chart information not being legible. If you specify to display report information for more than 90 days, the bar chart limits the display to only 90 days, regardless of the number of days entered. This limitation does not apply to pie chart views of the same report. (The maximum number of displayed days for a pie chart is 999 days).
