Backup Type Shows the backup type: Copy (the default) or Full.
Retention Policy Shows how many restore points to keep. Unchecking Delete Old Restore Points keeps all the
restore points. The default is to keep 3 restore points.
NOTE: If you decide to keep large number of restore points, check LUN availability.

Status Shows the status of the restore point:
● Available: Restore point is available for restore operations, including transporting the restore
point to another server. For Exchange components that were backed up with the Verify Data
option enabled, shows the verification status in parentheses. For example, "(Verified)" or "(Not
Verified)."
● Imported: Restore point has been accessed. When the status is Imported, the restore point
cannot be transported to another server.
● Imported and Exposed: Restore point is exposed as a local drive or mount point on the server.
● Failed: Restore point has not been created because of an error.

The Details tab displays the job log for a restore point. The job log contains the run time messages generated by Replay
Manager when the backup job ran.
1. In the Server Connections area of the navigation pane, connect to a server or host.
2. In the Backup Extensions area of the navigation pane, select a data source.
3. In the Backup Sets area of the navigation pane, click Reports.

The Details view displays all the steps RMS took to create the restore point. For failed restore points, view the Details
tab to find the error code or message for the failed backup. In general, the error codes and messages are generated by
the Microsoft VSS backup component. To find out information on a VSS error code or message, search the Microsoft
Development Network (www.msdn.microsoft.com) for information on the error.
