Getting Started with CA ARCserve D2D › CA ARCserve D2D User Interface › Status Summary Overview

Status Summary Overview

The Status Summary section of the home page provides a quick and easy, high-level status of your backup health.

Last Backup

Displays the date and time of the last backup, with the status of that backup.

• Green icon - Indicates that the last backup was successful and your computer is safely protected.
• Red icon - Indicates that the last backup was not successful, your most recent backup failed, and the computer cannot be restored with that recovery point.
• Yellow icon - Indicates that backups have not been performed for your computer and your computer is not protected.

Recovery Points/Recovery Sets

Displays the number of Recovery Points or Recovery Sets for your monitored server based on your specified retention settings.

• Green icon - Indicates that you have reached the specified number of recovery points or recovery sets.
• Red icon - Indicates that there are no saved recovery points or recovery sets and you have a potentially dangerous backup environment.
• Yellow icon - Indicates that you have at least one recovery point or one recovery set, but have not reached your specified number of recovery points or recovery sets.

If you specified your retention settings based on recovery sets, the status summary overview displays the number of recovery sets already retained and the number of recovery sets in progress. In addition, click the link under Recovery Sets to display the Recovery Sets Details dialog. This dialog contains detailed information about the contents of the recovery set.

First Recovery Point

The date/time of the first backup in the recovery set.

Last Recovery Point

The date/time of the last backup in the recovery set. With the first/last recovery point time listed, you are able to determine the complete time range of the recovery set.

Size

The total size of the recovery set. This number can be used to calculate how much disk space is used by the recovery set.

Recovery Point Count

The number of recovery points that belong to the recovery set.

Destination Capacity

Displays the amount of free space available at your backup destination. The Destination Capacity display provides an additional indication of the amount of space that is used for the backups, the amount of space that others use, and the amount of available free space.

• Green icon - Indicates that the amount of available free space is above the safe level.
• Red icon - Indicates either of the following conditions:
  • The specified destination is not accessible.
  • The amount of available free space is reduced to below the predetermined safe percentage of your destination capacity. For example, if it is determined that the available free space cannot accommodate five more incremental backups the icon turns red.

    Immediately increase the free space capacity of the backup destination or change the destination to another location which has adequate space.

Note: You can set up an email alert notification when the amount of unused space at the backup destination is less than a specified value. For more information about setting up this email alert notification, see Specify Email Alert Preferences.

Updates

Displays the status of CA ARCserve D2D updates for your computer.

• Green icon - Indicates the CA ARCserve D2D Updates function is enabled. Your computer is able to connect to the download server, your Update Schedule is configured, and no new updates are available.
• Yellow icon - Indicates either of the following conditions:
  • The latest available update is not installed on your computer.

    You can then click "Click here to install updates" to trigger the installation of the update.

  • Your Update Schedule has not been configured.

    For more information about configuring the Update Schedule, see Specify Updates Preferences.

  Note: All updates that are released for CA ARCserve D2D are cumulative. As a result, each update also includes all previously released updates to help ensure that your computer is always up-to-date.

• Red icon - Indicates CA ARCserve D2D is not able to connect to the download server. When this red icon is displayed, it means that you must provide valid download server details on the Updates tab of the Preferences dialog.

Last File Copy

Displays the date and time of the last File Copy job, with the status of the File Copy job that was performed.

• Green icon - Indicates that the last File Copy job was successful.
• Red icon - Indicates that the last File Copy job was not successful.
• Yellow icon - Indicates that the last File Copy job was incomplete or canceled.

In addition, the Last File Copy status indicator also displays the actual amount of space that is freed on the disk by the File Copy job. This space saved calculation is only displayed if you select to move the File Copy to a different location instead of copying the File Copy to as different location. This value is based upon the actual size of the backup that was moved from the computer to the specified destination. A File Copy job that does not move the copy to a different location, does not save any space.

License Failure

If a backup fails because of a license validation failure, the License Failure status is displayed indicating which license was the cause of the failure.
