Host-Based VM Backup Monitoring Tasks

You can view the status of your virtual machine backups from the Node screen. Search for the node that has a job in progress from the Job field, click the link, and this dialog opens.

Virtual Machine backups are performed in two phases. First, the virtual hard disks are backed up and then, if successful, the catalog is generated. The catalog lets you restore files and folders as well as the entire virtual machine.

The monitor displays the following real-time information about the backup status job:

• Phase--(Backup and Catalog Monitors) Displays the current point in the process that is represented by the shaded portion of the progress bar.
• Start Time--(Backup and Catalog Monitors) Displays the date and time the operation was started based on policy configuration.
• Elapsed Time--(Backup and Catalog Monitors) Displays the difference between the Start Time and current time.
• Estimated Time Remaining--(Backup Monitor only) Displays the length of time that is estimated to complete the job.
• Processing--(Catalog Monitor only) Displays the volume drive letter or application for which the catalog is currently being generated.
• Space Saved due to Compression--(Backup Monitor only) Displays the portion of disk space that is saved if compression was specified in the backup operation policy.
• Compression Level--(Backup Monitor only) Displays the type of compression that is used for backups. The options can be No Compression, Standard Compression (default), or Maximum Compression.
• Encryption--(Backup Monitor only) Displays the encryption method that is selected when the backup job was configured.
• Write Speed Limit--(Backup Monitor only) Displays the value if Throttle Backup was set on the Protection Settings screen of the backup policy.
• Write Speed--(Backup Monitor only) Displays the actual write speed in megabytes per minute.
• Read Speed--(Backup Monitor only) Displays the actual read speed in megabytes per minute.
