Device Health
This dashboard is intended to help you quickly identify and address problem areas within your organization.
How is device health evaluated?
We use several criteria to help determine device health.
- Few Files: A device has a small number of files in its file selection.
- Few Data: A device has a small amount of data selected to back up in its file selection.
- Small Archive: A device has a small amount of data stored in its backup archive.
Each backup is unique, so only having a few files selected could be an issue on one device but normal on another device. To help administrators pinpoint devices that are unhealthy, we've created levels of importance for these issues based on the typical severity of each of the criteria, and whether a device meets several criteria concurrently.
High Issues
- Few Files, Few Data, and Small Archive
- Few Files, Few Data
Medium Issues
- Few Data, Small Archive
- Few Data
Low Issues
- Few Files
- Small Archive
