Endpoint backup reporting
About
Endpoint backup generates reports from multiple points of view to Miradore server on a regular basis. Using this information, it is possible to view and analyze summarized and detailed information about past backup jobs run by Endpoint backup.
Endpoint backup reports for administrators
In Miradore, the backup status follow-up can be done from:
Inventory report tab of Asset configuration item. This is the per device point of view (i.e. all backups from the computer, perhaps from multiple users).
Endpoint backup reports: Operations > Endpoint backup
Endpoint backup user item page, which can be accessed through the aforementioned Endpoint backup reports.
Settings for configuring Endpoint backup job reporting
Miradore administrators can find a setting for configuring the status reporting of Endpoint backup jobs from "System settings > Main > Endpoint backup > Endpoint backup client settings > Report every backup job run".
By default, this setting is "No", which means that the Endpoint backup clients only report the backup jobs statuses to Miradore server when new files have been backed up or if any errors have occurred when running the backup jobs. If any new files aren't included in to the backup and no errors occur, then the Endpoint backup clients don't report the job status to Miradore server. As a result of this, the value of the "Backup was last run X days ago" attribute is not updated in Miradore Management Suite.
When the "Report every backup job run" setting is set to "Yes", the Endpoint backup clients always report the endpoint backup jobs' statuses to Miradore server after an endpoint backup job has been run. The statuses are reported even if there wouldn't be any errors or changes in the backed up files. This options generates a lot more entries to the reports, but on the other hand, it keeps the "Backup last run X days ago" attribute better up-to-date.
This reporting feature requires Miradore Endpoint backup client 6.2.2 (or later) from the devices that are within the scope of endpoint backup jobs.
Reports for Endpoint backup end-users
Endpoint backup end-users can see the current status of data backup jobs from Endpoint backup client's main window. In the content area, backup client shows the status of every backup job and file included into the backup job. The listed data can be filtered using the pre-configured views under the View menu (picture).
