Viewing instance, application, and bucket details

You can view the details about each instance, discovered application, or bucket in the Detail view section of the Instances, Applications, or Buckets panel.

n Note  The Details section appears only if you click an instance, an application, or a bucket. Selecting the check box before its name will not open the Details section.

The following details are available:

Instance, application, or bucket information Description
Summary

Shows detailed information about the selected instance, application, or bucket.
Restore point

Shows the following information for the restore point:

  • Creation date and time.

  • Available tiers from which you can restore data:

    • For instances and Google Kubernetes Engine applications :

      • or : Snapshot. Displayed if a snapshot of the instance or the Google Kubernetes Engine application using persistent volumes exists. Snapshots allow faster completion of restore tasks.

      • or : Backup data on a target. Displayed if backup data is stored on a target.

      • or : Copy of a backup image. Displayed if a copy of a backup image (snapshot or backup data on a target) exists on another target.

      • or : Data archive—daily. Displayed if a daily data archive exists on a target.

      • or : Data archive—weekly. Displayed if a weekly data archive exists on a target.

      • or : Data archive—monthly. Displayed if a monthly data archive exists on a target.

      • or : Data archive—yearly. Displayed if a yearly data archive exists on a target.

      • or : Catalog. Displayed if a restore of individual files or folders is available. (Available only for instances.)

      n Note  A restore point may or may not include backup data of the entire instance. This depends on the disks included in the corresponding backup.

      Visual labels of the tiers may be specially marked to denote different statuses. For more information, see “Tier statuses”.

    • For SAP HANA applications:

      • Full: Full backup.
      • Incremental: Incremental backup.

    • For buckets:

      • or : Backup data on a target.

      • or : Copy of backup data. Displayed if a copy of a backup data exists on another target.

      • or : Data archive—daily. Displayed if a daily data archive exists on a target.

      • or : Data archive—weekly. Displayed if a weekly data archive exists on a target.

      • or : Data archive—monthly. Displayed if a monthly data archive exists on a target.

      • or : Data archive—yearly. Displayed if a yearly data archive exists on a target.
Compliance

Shows the compliance status of the backup (and the resulting restore point):

  • The icon: The backup is compliant (the RPO setting in the policy assigned to the instance, the application, or the bucket was met).

  • The icon: The backup is not compliant (the RPO setting in the policy assigned to the instance, the application, or the bucket was not met).

  • The icon: The backup compliance status is undefined (the backup is still running).

By pausing on a compliance status icon, additional information about the backup is available. You can see backup frequency, the elapsed time since the last successful backup, and the expiration time for each available tier.
Backup status

Shows the backup status of your instance, application, or bucket. For more information, see “Viewing the backup status of instances, applications, and buckets”.
Restore status

Shows a progress bar indicating the progress of the instance, application, or bucket restore.

t Tip  If you double-click a progress bar, you are directed to the Tasks panel where you can check details about the related task.

t Tip  To minimize the Details section, click Minimize or press the Spacebar. To return it to its original size, click Maximize or press the Spacebar.

Viewing the backup status of instances, applications, and buckets

The backup status of your instance, application, or bucket determines whether it is possible to restore it.

a All instance disks were backed up successfully, but the disk catalog creation task might have failed. In this case, you will not be able to restore individual files or folders.

b This backup status may indicate one of the following:

  • Not all instance or application disks were backed up successfully, therefore the instance or application can be restored only partially. If backing up a boot disk of an instance failed, you may not be able to start the instance after the restore.
  • Creating a copy of backup data or a data archive failed. However, the instance or application can still be fully restored from the backup.
  • The backup is not application-consistent.
  • Applicable only if you are using the pre-backup and post-backup scripts. Some actions specified by the scripts might not be performed.

c This backup status may indicate one of the following:

  • Not all instance disks were backed up successfully and the disk catalog creation task might have failed. In this case, you will not be able to restore individual files or folders.
  • Not all instance disks were backed up successfully, therefore only the files that belong to the disks displayed in the Restore Settings dialog box can be restored.

d An application can be partially restored (only the databases that are displayed in the Application Restore dialog box).

e Applicable only if you are using the pre-backup and post-backup scripts. Some actions specified by the scripts might not be performed.

n Note  By pausing on a backup status icon, additional information about the restore point is shown. You can see the backup duration and ID.

Tier statuses

Tier labels may be visually marked to represent backup statuses of individual tiers. These statuses define whether it is possible to restore an instance, an application, or a bucket. The following is an example of possible marks:

Tier status Restore an instance, a GKE application, or a bucket?
