Generate Reports Using Report Manager

The Report Manager lets you generate reports about Arcserve Backup activities.

You can generate reports that Run Now from primary servers, stand-alone servers, and member servers. You can schedule reports to run at a specific time on primary servers and stand-alone servers. If you schedule a report from a member server, the report will run from the primary server, display in the Manager Console on the primary server, and will be stored in the <ARCSERVE_HOME>/Reports directory.
