Monitoring activities in real time
DS-Client provides two features for you to monitor activities in real time:
• The real-time activity monitor: The real-time activity monitor is a pane that is located at the lower section of the DS-User window. This pane cannot be hidden. It lists only activities that are currently in progress and displays the following basic information:
• The user who authorized the activity.
• The time at which the activity started.
• The type of activity and the name of the backup set on which the activity is being performed.
• The process window: The title of this window displays the type of process and the name of the backup set for which the process is being performed. If you have started an activity on demand, the process window of the activity automatically appears and displays additional details of the activity, which include the following:
• The name of the file being processed and the last directory that the process scanned. These are independent of each other and might not correspond.
• The total and remaining amount of data and number of files to be processed.
• The number of errors encountered.
• The percentage of the process that has been completed.
NOTE: Because most processes are multi-threaded, they might finish before the process window can refresh.
The process window also allows you to access the
Event Log to view events that relate to the current process. For more information, see
“Viewing the Event Log”.
• To open the process window of an activity that is listed in the real-time activity monitor, double-click the activity, or right-click the activity and then click Monitor.
