Overview

Server Side Backup Progress is a popup showing the progress of a currently active backup schedule. This progress is based on the total allotted disk space and the disk space used by the currently active backup schedule.

Server Side Restore Progress is a popup showing the progress of a currently active restore operation. The percentage progress shown is based on the number of files to be restored and the number of files already restored.

Server Side Backup Progress

This popup gives a progress of the backup schedule currently active. Note that the progress icon will be green if the backup is active. The percentage progress is based on the disk space allotted vs. disk space used and not based on the total data to be backed up vs. total data already backed up as part of the current schedule. When backup is in progress, 'Abort Backup' icon will be displayed in the progress window. Click on the 'Abort Backup' icon to stop the backup.

The server side backup progress window has the following fields:

1. Backup Schedule : Displays the name of active backup schedule.

2. Client Name : Displays the name of the client whose backup data is being transferred.

3. Backup Location : Displays the directory in which the backup data for this backup schedule is stored.

4. Current File : Displays the file which is presently being backed up.

5. Schedule Type : Full backup/Incremental Backup.

6. Bandwidth Throttling : Details of the bandwidth throttling applied for this backup. The bandwidth throttling could be set in the client or in the backup server.

7. Used Space : Total data size backed up so far - size based on the space occupied by the files in the client machine.

8. Transfer Rate : The average rate at which backup data is been transferred - calculated as size of total backup data transferred divided by the total time taken so far for the backup.

9. Added Files : Displays the number of newly added files (since last backup) backed up so far.

    • The folder did not have appropriate permissions for to read.

    • The folder may have been modified while is trying to backup it up.

    • The folder may have been temporarily available when listed the folders to backup but was later not available when tried to backup.
