Field Description

Description

A backup name. Filled in automatically when performing a backup according to the backup_<type>_<start_date>_<start_time> template, where:

  • <type> — backup type (see Type below);

  • <start_date> — backup start date in the YYYYMMDD format;

  • <start_time> — backup start time in the HHmmss format.

  • Full — full backup;

  • Diff — differential backup;

  • Incr — incremental backup.

Start time

A backup status. Possible values:

  • Init — the backup is being initialized.

  • Running — the backup is running.

  • Terminating — the backup is being terminated.

  • Invalid — after verification, the backup is considered incorrect. Such backups will be automatically dropped when the next cleanup procedure starts.

  • Failed — the backup launch is failed.

  • Done — the backup launch is successful.

In the column headers of the table with a list of backups, there are filters that you can use to select specific data. To open a filter, click the openside dark openside light icon. For those columns where the set of possible values is limited (e.g. Type), you can select a value from the drop-down list. For columns that show date and time (e.g. Start time), the time range can be selected from the calendar.

The filtered dark filtered light icon means that a filter is defined for the column. To reset all filters, click Reset.

IMPORTANT

By default, the table on the Backups tabs shows the current-day backups. To view all backups, use the time filters.
