backup server in a large environment, for example 300 clients, 25,000 sessions and
500,000 images.

Collection for Backup Managers” on page 208
Accessing Backup Manager

Determining if Last Night’s Backup was Successful
Backup Manager provides several tools to help you to quickly determine if last night’s backup was
successful. The quickest way to find out if last night’s backup was successful is to go to the Summary
tab in Backup Manager. Refer to the following topics to learn more:
• ”Viewing the Summary Backup Charts” on page 397
• ”Viewing Backup Results for a Client” on page 398
• ”Viewing Backup Information for a Client” on page 398
• ”Viewing Backup Reports” on page 399
Viewing the Summary Backup Charts
To access information about last night’s backup by looking at the backup charts:
1. Access Backup Manager as described in ”Accessing Backup Manager” on page 397.
2. Click the Summary tab on the right side of the window.
3. By default, the Backup SLA Performance chart is displayed in the upper-left pane on the
Summary page.
This chart displays the overall results of the backups in the last 14 days. It tells you if the overall
backup was successful, partially successful or failed. See ”About the Summary Backup Charts”
on page 410 and ”Modifying Summary Backup Charts” on page 417 for more information
about this chart and about modifying it.
