Protected Objects

30 June 2022

The Protected Objects report provides a summary and list of all protected objects that had a backup run. You can view the backup status and the objects with an active snapshot.

Example use case: Do I have a good backup of my VM in the last month?

Filter Report Data

The report supports multiple filters to pare down the data that you want to view in the report:

  • System—Select all cluster(s) to include.

  • Source—Select all the sources to include.

  • Type—Choose the types of objects to include — Generic NAS, Isilon, NetApp, Physical, Pure, VMware, and so on.

  • Backup Status—Filter by objects with successful backups or unsuccessful backups.

  • Last Run Status—Filter by the status of the most recent protection run — Canceled, Failed, Running, Success, and/or Warning.

  • Time Range—Set the time period for your report.

    If you set a time period, the report displays all objects that had a backup run during the selected time period. If an object is no longer protected, the report would still display data if the object had a backup run during the selected time period. If an object is protected and if it did not have a backup run during the selected time period, the report does not display the data specific to this object.

  • Object—Enter an object name to filter by the name of the object.

  • Organization—Choose one or more organizations to see the report data specific to the selected organizations.

Glance Bar

The glance bar provides a summary of the report for the specified period:

  • Success Rate—Without Successful Backup / Total Objects.
  • Total Objects—The total number of objects.
  • With Successful Backup—The total number of objects that have one or more successful backups.
  • Without Successful Backup—The total number of objects that did not have any successful protection runs.
  • With Snapshots—The total number of objects with snapshots retained. This number can differ from the earlier “With Successful Backups”, for example, all backups fail for an object during the selected date range but the object still has actively retained snapshots from earlier backups (that occurred before the selected date range).
  • Without Snapshots—The total number of objects without snapshots.

Charts

The report includes the following two charts:

  • Protected Objects by Type

  • Object Protection by Type
