REPORT CARD is an easy-to-read tabular report you can receive daily (and/or weekly) which summarizes the backup status of all your clients. By reviewing this single report, you get an at-a-glance status of all your accounts without having to actually review every backup email message.

The report lists the name of every account you currently monitor including all subaccounts. We detail the name of every backup set, the date/time of the last run, the number of files backed up, the size of the batch, the number of exceptions logged and the reference ID we use to track your backup internally.

By default, the last 7 days of backup history are displayed. The tabular format of the report make it easy to spot customers with backup trouble.

Open the attachment in a spreadsheet and you will be able to sort and format the data to suit your specific client needs.
