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.

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

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.
• Yellow icon - Indicates that the amount of available free space is reduced to 3% of your destination capacity. It can be configured from the Windows registry.

    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 in the online help.

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.

Updates

Displays the status of Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) updates for your computer.

• Green icon - Indicates the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) 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 in the online help.

  Note: All updates that are released for Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) 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 Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) 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.

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.

Destination Space Usage Status Bar

• Backup - Total amount of space used for all backup sessions on the destination.

  Note: For Windows Server 2012 NTFS, the Backup size displayed is the data deduplication un-optimized size. If the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) backup destination is configured with Windows NTFS data deduplication enabled, the Backup size may be larger than the actual data size on the disk.

• Others - Non-Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) data size on the destination.
• Free - Amount of available space on the destination.

Note: If the backup destination is set to data store, this status bar does not display.
