DataProtect Archives
This tabular report provides a comprehensive log of DataProtect archive activities performed on Cohesity clusters within a user-defined time frame. It details each archive operation, including the cluster and protection group involved, the target storage location, operation status, start and end times, duration, and expiry of archived data. The report also quantifies both the logical (uncompressed) and physical (compressed or deduplicated) data transferred, with the option for users to specify their preferred units of measurement. This structure enables users to track, audit, and analyze archive operations across multiple clusters and storage targets, supporting operational transparency and data lifecycle management.
You can access this report from Backup Manager > Management Reports > DataProtect Archives.
