The Job Status Summary report shows a bar chart that aggregates jobs that succeeded, failed, or produced warning messages. This high-level summary provides drilldown access to the Job Summary report, where you’ll find specific status messages and scheduling information.
When you generate this report, several Report Designer options enable you to narrow the scope of the report and also to define how the data will be displayed. Refer to the APTARE StorageConsole User’s Guide for Capacity Manager Primary Settings and Backup Manager Primary Settings. In particular, note the Parent Job Only, Ignore Retries, and Backup Window settings that are available for this report.
Use this procedure to track down backup failure details:
1. View the Job Status Summary report.
2. Click on the top section of a bar in the bar chart to drill down to details.
The top portion of the bar indicates backup error events, the middle section reports event warnings, and the bottom represents successful backups. Note that often the partial backups represent your biggest exposure, so drilling down on the warning events can help you identify and resolve issues.
When you drill down to details, you are launching the
Job Summary Report.

4. In the J
ob Summary report, click on the
