Backup policy deployment states
A backup policy deployment state is a combination of the policy deployment states on all machines
the policy is applied to. For example, if the policy is applied to three machines and has the
"Deploying" state on the 1st machine, the "Updating" state on the 2nd machine and the "Deployed"
state on the 3rd machine, the state of the policy will be "Deploying, Updating, Deployed."
A backup policy deployment state on a group of machines is a combination of the policy deployment
states on the machines included in the group.
For detailed information about backup policy deployment states, see the Backup policy's state and
statuses (p. 66) section.
7.1.2.2
Backup policy statuses
A backup policy status is the cumulative status of the policy statuses on all machines the policy is
applied to. For example, if the policy is applied to three machines and has the "OK" status on the 1st
machine, the "Warning" status on the 2nd machine and the "Error" status on the 3rd machine, the
status of the policy will be "Error."
A backup policy status on a group of machines is the cumulative status of the policy statuses on the
machines included in the group.
The following table shows a summary of possible backup policy statuses.
Status
How it is determined
How to handle
1
Error
The policy status on at least
one machine is "Error".
Otherwise, see 2.
View the log or identify the failed tasks to find out the reason
of the failure, then do one or more of the following:
Remove the reason of the failure -> [optionally] Start the
failed task manually
Edit the backup policy to prevent future failure
2
Warning
The policy status on at least
one machine is "Warning".
Otherwise, see 3.
View the log to read the warnings -> [optionally] Perform
actions to prevent future warnings or failure.
3
OK
The policy status on all
machines is "OK".
No action is required. Note that if a backup policy is not
applied to any machine, its state is also "OK".
What to do if a policy has the Error status
1.
To find out the reason of the failure, do one or more of the following:
Click the
Error
hyperlink to see the log entry of the latest occurred error.
Select the policy and click
View tasks
. Check the tasks that have
Failed
as their last result:
select a task and then click
View log
. Select a log entry and then click
View details
. This
approach comes in handy if the policy state is Deployed, that is, the policies' tasks already
exist on the managed machines.
Select the policy and click
View log
. Check the "error" log entries to find out the reason of
the failure: select a log entry and then click
View details
. This approach comes in handy if the
policy has errors while being deployed, revoked or updated.
In the
Tasks
view, apply the
Last result -> Failed
filter if there are too many tasks. You can also sort the
failed tasks by backup plans or by machines.
