  • REPORT ID:
    •
    This field allows you to specify a report for viewing by entering a specific REPORT ID. Leave this field blank for a selection list of all reports. A generic identifier may be specified by suffixing a portion of the REPORT ID with an asterisk (*). For example, A14* would list all jobs beginning with A14, such as A14J013B and A14J007D.

  • GENERATION:
    •
    A generation is considered the time period from one backup cycle to the next backup cycle, which under normal circumstances, corresponds to one work day. Generations are sequentially numbered beginning with one and incremented by one after each backup cycle. In most cases an asterisk(*) will be used.
