Table: Fields and options in the Events display

Option

Description

ALL

For the selected vSphere object, shows all backup status (successful, failed, and so forth).

Backup Successful

For the selected vSphere object, shows only the VMs that were successfully backed up.

Backup Failed

For the selected vSphere object, shows only the VMs that were not successfully backed up.

Snapshot Delete Failed

For the selected vSphere object, shows only the VMs for which NetBackup failed to delete the snapshot after the backup completed.

Note:

After it creates a snapshot, NetBackup deletes the snapshot when the backup completes. If NetBackup fails to delete snapshots, the performance of the VM may eventually decline. In that case, you may need to delete the snapshots manually.

The values are:

Backup Successful, Backup Failed, Snapshot Delete Failed.
