Configuring columns

Backup Exec uses panes to present information to you in a structured and organized manner. Within each pane are columns that specify the type of information that is displayed. You can remove columns that may not interest you. You can also rearrange the order in which the columns appear.

The position of the column names in the Column Settings dialog box dictates the column's positioning within the pane. For example, column names appearing at the top of the list are positioned on the left side of the pane.
