The client agent runtime components for both Windows and NetWare provide
real-time statistics and display the progress of backup and restore jobs as they
are being processed.
Note:
Runtime statistics apply only to Windows and NetWare.
View Runtime Statistics for the Client Agent for Windows
CA ARCserve Backup lets you view runtime statistics for computers running the
Client Agent for Windows.
To view runtime statistics for the Client Agent for Windows
1.
From the Windows Start Menu, select Programs, CA, ARCserve Backup, and
click Backup Agent Admin.
The Backup Agent Admin opens.
2.
Select Connections.
CA ARCserve Backup displays the last 32 jobs processed.
If the job is still active, you can click the job to display its current runtime
statistics. If the job has completed, completed statistics for that job are
displayed.
Note:
The statistics are stored in memory. Therefore, if you close the
Backup Agent Admin and the Universal Agent service, the connection
statistics will be lost. However, you will still be able to view the results of the
job in the Activity Log.
