Generating Arcserve UDP Reports › How to Generate Arcserve UDP Reports

How to Generate Arcserve UDP Reports

The reports tab provides access to various types of reports such as Alerts and Backup Status. The left pane includes list of reports that you can generate. The center pane displays the details of the selected report and lets you configure various report settings. The report is generated for a group of nodes or servers. You can also filter the report to display detailed information for an individual node. The drill-down report includes the following items:

Job Nodes

Displays the node name where backup jobs of Agent Backup or Host-Based VM Backup run.

Protected Nodes

Displays the name of agent node and node protected by the Arcserve UDP agent or Host-Based VM Backup or Virtual Standby or Arcserve Backup.

Product

Displays the product that is installed on the node. The product name could be Arcserve UDP Agent, Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server, or Arcserve Backup.

Filters/Actions

Displays the global and local options of filters and actions related to the reports. For more information, see Using Filters and Actions.

The following reports are available in Arcserve UDP:

Alert Report

Displays the alert information for nodes.

Backup Size Trend Report

Displays the backup data size of Arcserve Backup and Arcserve UDP agent in a historical view and then projects the growth trend that you can prepare for future storage space requirements. This report includes information for nodes which run on supported Windows and Linux operating systems and allows you to drill down to display more detailed information for an individual node.

Node Backup Status Report

Displays the latest backup status of all nodes during the specific time period. This report allows you to view detailed information about nodes based on categories such as selected type of Groups and Node Tier. The report displays the following job status:

• Successful: Provides a list of jobs that are completed successfully.
• Failed: Provides a list of jobs that failed.
• Incomplete: Provides a list of jobs that finished with incomplete status.
• Canceled: Provides a list of jobs that are canceled.
• Not Attempted: Provides a list of jobs that are not attempted.

Virtualization Protection Status Report

Displays the latest backup status of virtual machines that Host-Based VM Backup or Virtual Standby or Arcserve Backup protects. This report lets you view information for a specified time period and drill down to display more detailed information about each selected category.

Managed Capacity Report

Displays the raw data size of the last successful full backup for each node that Arcserve Backup, Arcserve UDP Agent, and Host-based VM Backup protect.

Notes:

• Entering a value in the Last Days filter does not change the result for global filter. Irrespective of the number of days you provide, applying filter displays the latest values.
• In the grid area of the report, except Raw Data Size, the following three columns are applicable only for VM nodes that are protected by host-based agentless backup:

  Used Space of NTFS volumes (UDP v6 GA) or Used Space of volumes (UDP v6 Update 1 and later)

  Indicates the sum of the used space of volumes inside the guest OS of the VM. For Arcserve UDP v6, it is the sum of all NTFS volumes inside the VM. For Arcserve UDP v6 Update 1 and later:

  For Windows: Refers to the sum of the used space of all NTFS volumes

  For Linux VM: Refers to the sum of the used space of all volumes.

  For Linux VM, only VMware VM is supported for this column. In this case, you need to update the VM node with root credentials. Whether it is a VMware Linux VM without credentials, or a Hyper-V Linux VM, this column is empty.

  For Linux VM support, VMware Red Hat or CentOS machine and Hyper-V Linux VMs face limitations. For more details, refer to Known Issue in Release notes of Arcserve UDP v6 Update 1.

  Synthetic Read Size

  Indicates the total size read during the backup.

  Virtual Disk Provision Size

  Indicates the sum of the provision size of all virtual disks of the VM.

• Typically, Raw Data Size is the size of the data written into the backup destination. For host-based agentless backup, it may or may not be equal to Synthetic Read Size because Arcserve UDP does not write all-zero data blocks to the backup destination. In other words, all-zero data blocks are skipped during the backup. Typically, Raw Data Size equals Synthetic Read Size minus the total size of all-zero data blocks. In addition, for VM nodes that are protected by host-based agentless backup, you can customize the data displayed for Raw Data Size by configuring few registry values on the proxy server. For more information on configuring the registry values and associated behaviors, see Customize Raw Data Size in Managed Capacity Report for Host-based Agentless VM Backup.

Data Distribution on Media Report

Displays the compressed and actual (raw) backup data size at various storage locations during the specified time period. This report allows you to drill down to display more detailed information about disk and deduplication categories.

Note: Entering a value in the Last Days filter does not change the results for local or global filters. Irrespective of the number of days you provide, applying filter displays the latest values.
