Backup Manager advanced scope selector settings

The availability of selections, options, and default values varies from report to report because not all selections and options apply to all reports.

Table: Advanced scope selector settings

Field name

Description

Start Time / Finish Time

Specify the backup/restore event start or finish time to be used when culling the events within the time frame for the report.

For example, if you only want to display events that occurred between 12AM and 6:30AM, then specify those times for the start and finish time parameters so that the application filters the events by those time constraints.

Available in various backup/restore events reports.

Time Zone

Enables you to select a specific time zone to normalize the report by any time zone. The default setting for this parameter is the time zone setting of the Management Server.

Error Code Excludes

Check the Set Error Excludes box and the application will dynamically generate an Error Code ID/Descriptions Dialogue where you can check all the error codes that need to be excluded from the report. Then, click Accept and all the codes will auto-populate the Exclude Id text box.

Any event which existed with an error code specified in the exclude list will not be included in the resulting report.

This functionality currently is available only for the Consecutive Errors By Client Report.

Ignore Retries

Check this box to indicate that retries for backup jobs should not be incorporated in the statistics shown.

Job Types

Refers to the type of backup job. Each backup product has its own set of job types. The list represents the products for which data collection has been licensed for your Portal. Check the job types to be included in the report output.

See Examples of Advanced Options Job Types.
