Viewing Veritas System Recovery details for a client computer

You can view Veritas System Recovery properties and details about a selected computer that you manage.

You can view the following details:

Backup status, volume status, and history of the computer.
An event log that identifies errors, information, and warnings.
The backup type that is created and the backup destination.
Veritas System Recovery license status.

The following table describes the tab and the details within that tab that you can view.

Table: Veritas System Recovery details

Tab	Description
Status	Computer status types include the following: At Risk A computer that has no recovery points available for the reported drives. A computer at risk can be recovered if the volumes are set to back up. For example, suppose you have a C:\, D:\, and E:\ volume on a client computer, but only a backup of C:\ exists. While Veritas System Recovery 18 Management Solution shows the client computer at risk, you can still recover the C:\ volume. Attention Needed A computer that has a backup policy assigned but it has not been run for a long time. Or, the policy has missed the last scheduled backup (meaning that existing recovery points are probably old). A computer drive that needs attention can be recovered. However, if the recovery points are older, the recovery points do not contain the latest versions of files or folders. Backed up A computer that has made a recovery point of all drives (set to report full status) in the last 30 days. And, the computers have not missed the last scheduled backup. Computers are considered backed up without having an assigned backup policy as long as one or more recovery points are created within the last 30 days. A backed-up drive can be fully recovered. Not Reporting A computer that is either not connected to the network, is unplugged, or the Symantec Management Agent is not installed. Unknown The status is not yet calculated, or the computer has an unsupported version of Veritas System Recovery. Not Installed A computer does not have the Veritas System Recovery Plug-in installed. See Creating a basic backup policy. License status types include the allowing: License The number of computers that have a current license assigned. Not Licensed The number of computers on which an expired trial version of Veritas System Recovery is installed or on which no license was activated. Trial License The number of computers that have a trial version of Veritas System Recovery installed. The Status tab also shows you the Veritas System Recovery version, license model used, and the license expiration date.
Events	Lists the information, errors, or warnings for the selected computer. You can also use the Windows Event Viewer on the computer to view events from the application logs.
Backup History	Lists the backup history of a computer and general status information, such as the recovery point type, size, and destination. You can also view a chronological history of all of the recovery points of selected drives (even if the recovery point has been deleted from the storage location). The picture icon next to each drive letter gives indicates the type of recovery point that is created (a recovery point set, or an independent recovery point).
Volume Status	Lists specific information about the computer's hard drive (like the file system that is used and the storage capacity), the storage location for the last recovery point, and when the last recovery point occurred. In the Volume Status window, in the Last Backup column, notice that any unprotected drives (that is, any drives that have not yet had a backup policy run on them) are labeled Never. Each drive's protection status also appears in the Status column.
Client Configuration	Lists the selected computer's Veritas System Recovery client settings. For example, you can view the Veritas System Recovery settings for event logs, FTP configuration, log files, backup performance, SMTP and SNMP notifications, and system tray icon details. See Configuring a client option policy for computers.
Recovery History	Lists the recovery history of a computer based on the recovery date, the drive that was recovered, and the recovery point that was used. The status of the recovery is also displayed.
