Monitoring backup protection from the Home
page
On the Home page, the
Backup Status pane provides a summary of the backup protection
status of your computer. For example, if one or more drives are not
included in a defined backup, the background color and status icon
changes to reflect the level of backup protection. The Status
Details pane provides recommendations on which actions you should
take.
The following table
describes each of the levels of backup protection that the Home
page displays.

Description
|
|
Backed up
|
At least one drive-based backup is defined and it runs on a
regular basis.
This status indicates that all drives, files, and folders can be
fully recovered, if necessary.
|
|
Partially backed up
|
A backup is defined, but it is not scheduled or has not run for
a long time. This status can indicate that the existing recovery
points are outdated. It can also indicate that one or more drives
are not assigned to a defined backup.
A partially protected drive can be recovered, but if the
recovery points are outdated, it might not contain the latest
versions of your data.
|
|
At risk
|
No defined backup exists and no recovery points are available
from which to recover the drive.
An unprotected drive cannot be recovered and is at risk.
|
|
Status unknown
|
The status is being calculated, or you have not yet licensed
your product.
Either wait a few seconds for the status to display, or make
sure that you have licensed your copy of the product.
|
|
No backup protection assigned
|
The drive that displays this icon is not monitored for backup
status; or, it is monitored for errors only. However, there are no
errors to report.
Use the Customize status reporting feature on the Status page to
change the status report setting.
