Checking task statuses

In the Tasks panel, you can do the following:

  • Check the overall status of the tasks in your data protection environment.
  • Check the status of tasks that are currently running.
  • Check the status of completed and stopped tasks.

    The information is presented in the Detail view that appears at the bottom of the screen after you select the task.

    Tip  To minimize the Detail view, click  Minimize or press the Spacebar. To return the Detail view to its original size, click  Maximize or press the Spacebar.

  • Generate a report about a specific task.

    To generate the report, select a task, and then click View Report View Task Report. To copy the report to the clipboard, in the View Task Report dialog box that opens, click  Copy to Clipboard.

  • Cancel any currently running task by selecting it, and then clicking Abort Task Abort Task.

Consideration

R‑Cloud periodically deletes tasks (as well as all associated task reports and events) from the database. Tasks related to backups, copies of backups, and archives are deleted 90 days after the corresponding restore points are removed from R‑Cloud. All other tasks are deleted 90 days after they are created.

To access the Tasks panel, in the navigation pane, click Tasks Tasks. Alternatively, in the Dashboard panel, click the Tasks widget title.
