Overview

Job History allows you to view more detailed information about a job once it has completed. Job history is aged during the Data Aging operation based on the job type, job status and storage policy copy retention criteria. The data is permanently removed only after the job history criteria is met. See Data Aging of Job History Data for more information.

From the following levels of the CommCell, you can view more detailed information about a job, such as how many files were backed up during a data protection operation; the reason an auxiliary copy job failed to start; the throughput of a backup, the job status of the job, etc. Additional job details can be viewed, such as (as applicable per agent) the items that failed or were successfully protected during a data protection operation, items that were restored during a data recovery operation, associated media (of a data protection operation), job events, and the log files of the job.

Job Errors

If a job has not completed successfully, you can view information about the error(s) encountered by that job by clicking on the job's error code. See Job Errors in Job Controller for more information.

Resubmit Jobs

If necessary, you can resubmit a job from the job history windows. This is useful if a job has failed, and you want to run it again. This removes the need to reconfigure a job with the same options. You can resubmit the same job directly from the job history windows.

For step-by-step instructions, see:
