Virtualization Protection Status Report Benefits

The Virtualization Protection Status Report is helpful in analyzing and determining which virtual machines (VMs) are more effective than others for backup jobs, and which ones could be potential problem areas.

For example, generally you can use this report to check the status of the most recent backup status of your VMs. If the backup status from the previous day is all green (successful), you know that you had a good backup. However, if the backup status is red (failed), then you can correlate the results with the activity logs that you see in the Node Backup Status drill down Report for this VM to determine the problem area and fix it without delay. You can also identify the kind of recovery (raw, file, or both) that is available for each VM in case of successful VM backups.

Always look for patterns in behavior to isolate potential problem jobs and determine if the same jobs are failing frequently. It is important to analyze the results from all fields of this report when attempting to determine problem backup jobs.
