Once you have a job established or imported, you can easily monitor the status of the job from the Monitor jobs page.
When viewing the Monitor jobs page, the main window is divided into two sections. The top pane displays overview monitoring information, while the bottom pane displays detailed data. You can hide the details pane by clicking on the Hide details text. You can display the details pane by clicking on the Show details text.
There is also a toolbar on the Monitor jobs page for specific job and monitoring controls.
Overview information is provided for each job at the top of the Monitor page.
No heading
The first unlabeled column is an icon that indicates the status of the job.
The black, moving circular icon indicates the console is attempting
to process the job to determine the status and statistics.
The white checkmark inside a green circle indicates the job is in a
good state.
The black exclamation point inside a yellow triangle indicates the job
is in a warning state.
The white X inside a red circle indicates the job is in a bad state.
Job Type
Status
There are many different status messages that keep you informed of the progress of your jobs. Most of the status messages are informational and do not require any administrator interaction. If you see error messages, check the job details. You can also view the Double-Take log file on the server for additional information about processing on that machine.
If the Status is Communication Error, the issue could be several things such as the source server is unavailable or the client has invalid credentials for the source. If it is a problem with the source server, perhaps the Double-Take service is not running, resolve the problem on the source. If the source appears to have no issues, try refreshing the job credentials through the Update credentials toolbar button.
For more details on error messages, review the log files.
Source
The name of your source is displayed.
Target
The name of your target, virtual migration appliance, or Hyper-V host is displayed.
Time Remaining
When mirroring, this is the estimated time remaining to complete the mirror. For various reasons, this calculation is an estimate. For example, some file components, like alternate data streams, cannot be included in mirror calculations, or the size of the data set may have changed after the mirror started.
% Complete
When mirroring, this is the estimated percentage of the mirror that is complete. For various reasons, this calculation is an estimate. For example, some file components, like alternate data streams, cannot be included in mirror calculations, or the size of the data set may have changed after the mirror started.
Detailed information is provided for each job at the bottom of the Monitor page.
