Viewing Backup and Restore Logs
Anytime a backup or restore runs, a log is created; these logs can be viewed on the 'Logs' page of SiteBackup:
The 'Logs' page is made up of two main sections:
Logs Table
The logs table displays the available logs that can be viewed:
The columns in this table can be filtered and sorted to make finding a particular log easier.
Log View
Once a log has been selected, the detailed log view on the right will display additional information about the log:
The bottom of the log view will display the result of the backup:
If the backup failed an error message will be displayed to assist with troubleshooting:
Intra-Daily Backups
When scheduled backups are taken with an intra-daily schedule which has the 'Intra-daily Stealth' option set, normal logs are not created except in cases of backup error or warning. Instead, each computer has an intra-daily log for the day, with the backup times and results for that day. Each computer and backup definition pair will be in a separate daily log:
Exporting Backup Logs
Exporting Logs Table
Backup log information may be exported from the 'Logs' table in CSV format to help with analysis and to import into auding tools.
