Status Summary Overview

The Status Summary section of the home page provides a quick and easy, high-level status of your backup health.

Last Backup

Displays the date and time of the last backup, with the status of that backup.

• Green icon - Indicates the last backup was successful and your machine is safely protected.
• Red icon - Indicates the last backup was not successful, your most recent backup failed, and the machine cannot be restored with that recovery point.
• Yellow icon - Indicates no backups have been performed for your machine and your machine is not protected.

Recovery Points

Displays the number of Recovery Points for your monitored server. You can specify a minimum number of recovery points to maintain a safe recovery environment.

• Green icon - Indicates you have reached the specified number of recovery points.
• Red icon - Indicates there are no saved recovery points and you have a potentially dangerous backup environment.
• Yellow icon - Indicates you have at least one recovery point, but have not reached your specified number of recovery points.

Destination Capacity

Displays the amount of free space available at your backup destination. The Destination Capacity display provides an additional indication of the amount of space used for the backups, the amount of space used by others, and the amount of available free space.

• Green icon - Indicates the amount of available free space is above the safe level.
• Red icon - Indicates either of the following conditions:
  • The specified destination is not accessible.
  • The amount of available free space is reduced to below the predetermined safe percentage of your destination capacity. For example, if it is determined that the available free space cannot accommodate five more incremental backups, the icon turns red.

    You should immediately increase the free space capacity of the backup destination or change the destination to another location which has adequate space.

Note: You can set up an email alert notification when the amount of unused space at the backup destination is less than a specified value. For more information about setting up this email alert notification, see Specify Email Alert Preferences.

Updates

Displays the status of CA ARCserve D2D On Demand updates for your machine.

• Green icon - Indicates the CA ARCserve D2D On Demand Updates function is enabled. Your machine is able to connect to the download server, your Update Schedule is configured, and no new updates are available.
• Yellow icon - Indicates either of the following conditions:
  • The latest available update is not installed on your machine.

    You can then click "Click here to install updates" to trigger the installation of the update.

  • Your Update Schedule has not been not configured.

    For more information about configuring the Update Schedule, see Specify Updates Preferences

  Note: All updates released for CA ARCserve D2D On Demand are cumulative. As a result, each update also includes all previously released updates to help ensure your machine is always up-to-date.

• Red icon - Indicates CA ARCserve D2D On Demand is not able to connect to the download server. When this red icon is displayed it means that you must provide valid download server details on the Updates tab of the Preferences dialog.

Last File Copy

Displays the date and time of the last File Copy job, with the status of the File Copy job that was performed.

• Green icon - Indicates the last File Copy job was successful.
• Red icon - Indicates the last File Copy job was not successful.
• Yellow icon - Indicates the last File Copy job was incomplete or canceled.

In addition, the Last File Copy status indicator also displays the actual amount of space freed on disk by the File Copy job. This space saved calculation is only displayed if you select to move the File Copy to a different location instead of copying the File Copy to as different location. This value is based upon the actual size of the backup that was moved from the machine to the specified destination. A File Copy job that does not move the copy to a different location, does not save any space.
