Notifications and reporting
Being notified of the status of each backup is critical to a successful data protection system. Fortunately, BackupAssist covers both of the following aspects for notifications:
- For when human intervention is required - giving clear instructions on what needs to be done
- Clear reporting that keeps you informed and allows you to spot problems before they occur
These notifications can be delivered via email, printer, network broadcasts or integration with other monitoring packages.
Minimize human error where human interaction is required
By providing clear, specific instructions on what to do, BackupAssist will minimize human error.
Clear reporting that helps you anticipate problems
One major cause of backup failures is running out of space due to data growth. Our media usage report allows you to track data growth and see when your backup system needs upgrading.
Reporting that detects human errors
Another major cause of backup failure is when the user forgets to do something - like swapping tapes or HDDs.
Reporting that gives you a comprehensive view
Each backup report will show you details of the backup.
SBS 2003 Performance Log Integration
To our knowledge, BackupAssist is the only non-Microsoft backup application that reports directly to the SBS 2003 Performance Log. This means that if you already have performance log emails set up, you will automatically be notified of BackupAssist results.
Easy troubleshooting with the BackupAssist online Knowledge Base
Any errors that occur are easy to troubleshoot because each error is linked to an online knowledge base article.
Simple instructions mean that it's virtually impossible to go wrong
A graph shows you how much capacity is used, and statistics like estimated free space and compression ratio are provided where possible
The user put the wrong tape in the drive
No tape in the drive! You can take corrective action and rerun the backup.
A comprehensive view of the backup results, including useful statistics
The results of the backup are presented in the SBS Performance Logs
