Published : September 27, 2005

What do you look for on the Jobs tab?

  • When jobs ran

  • When jobs are scheduled to run

  • Which jobs of a specific type are scheduled

  • Which jobs are scheduled for a file server

  • Which jobs are scheduled for a protection group

  • Which jobs did not complete successfully and why

  • How long jobs took to run

  • The amount of data transferred for a job

The Jobs tab displays the status of jobs. You can group jobs by protection group, server, status, or type, and you can filter jobs by time period. Detailed information for each job is available only on the Jobs tab in the Details pane. Detailed information on job failures can be useful for advanced troubleshooting.

You can choose to include regularly scheduled synchronization operations in the list of jobs. However, it is not necessary to monitor synchronization jobs regularly because any problems will be reported on the Alerts tab.
