Viewing Backup Job Reports
The Reports Explorer provides summary information for backup sets and their associated restore points.
The Details tab of the Reports Explorer provides the run time messages generated by Replay Manager when the backup job
runs and indicates the success or failure of the restore point. In cases of failure, viewing the error messages on the Details tab
can be helpful in troubleshooting why the failure occurred.
The General tab of the Reports Explorer provides information on the schedule and the retention policy defined for the selected
backup set or restore point.
