In this article we will review Data Protection page layout and settings.
Data Protection page includes a list of recent backups of Projects, SharePoint sites or PWA configuration elements performed by schedule or manually within the selected environment.
The list of single projects backed up within the selected environment is displayed by default, but you can select to review the SharePoint sites or PWA configuration elements by clicking the corresponding buttons on the right top of this page.
Using the Search option on the top of the page you can quickly find any specific item.
The Data Protection page is divided into two sections: Backup (of the single projects, sites, configuration elements) and Restore (of the single projects, sites, configuration elements).
Backup section includes the following information:
- Protection (shows if the project/site/configuration element is backed up or not);
- Project/Sites/Configuration Title;
-
State (shows if the project is active or not active on the PWA:
If the % complete is less than 100, the project's start date is before the current date, and the project's end date is after the current date, then the Project is considered Active. If not, the Project is considered inactive); - %Complete (shows the % Complete of the project on the PWA);
- Modified (shows the date when the project/site was last modified).
It is possible to sort the data within this section in the ascending or descending mode by these fields.
You can select to review all projects/sites/configuration elements on the page or select to review only Protected or Unprotected items using the buttons at the bottom of this section.
