Backup Server Replication Progress

Overview

This popup gives a progress of the replication schedule currently active. Note that the progress icon will be green if the replication is active. The progress is based on the number of files already replicated vs. total number of files to be replicated as part of the current schedule.

How to get here in the Web Console?

In the top menu, select: "Server Admin->Reseller Management->List of Resellers" and click on the "Reseller Name" in this Reseller row. This lists the Customers under the Reseller. Now click on the Customer name. This lists the clients under this customer. Click on the "Client Name" in this client row. This lists the backup schedules for this client. Now click on the "Progress" icon in the Backup Name column.

Troubleshooting Tips

Limitations

The backup server replication progress window polls the Backup Server every single second to get the progress of replication. This process can slow down the actual backup operation by between 50% to 75% ! So, for large backup schedules it is better to keep the backup server replication progress window closed and open it only occasionally to check the replication progress.
