Move the slider to adjust the time period, or click on a Zoom time period. You can also specify the date range by entering start and end dates in the edit boxes. The maximum date range is one year by default. Note: Click on the values for Total Events, Backup Successful, Backup Failed, or Snapshot Deletion Failed to list those events in the Events display.
