The Manage Jobs page allows you to view status information about your jobs. You can also control your jobs from this page.
The jobs displayed in the right pane depend on the server group folder selected in the left pane. Every job for each server in your console session is displayed when the Jobs on All Servers group is selected. If you have created and populated server groups (see Managing servers), then only the jobs associated with the server or target servers in that server group will be displayed in the right pane.
The top pane displays high-level overview information about your jobs.
Column 1 (Blank)
The first blank column indicates the state of the job.
The job is in a healthy state.
The job is in a warning state. This icon is also displayed on any server groups that you have created that contain a job in a warning state.
The job is in an error state. This icon is also displayed on any server groups that you have created that contain a job in an error state.
The job is in an unknown state.

Each job type has a unique job type name. This job is an Agentless vSphere job. For a complete list of all job type names, press F1 to view the Double-Take Console online help.
Activity
There are many different Activity messages that keep you informed of the job activity. Most of the activity messages are informational and do not require any administrator interaction.

You can control your job through the toolbar buttons available on the Manage jobs page. If you select multiple jobs, some of the controls will apply only to the first selected job, while others will apply to all of the selected jobs. For example, View Job Details will only show details for the first selected job, while Stop will stop protection for all of the selected jobs.
If you want to control just one job, you can also right click on that job and access the controls from the pop-up menu.
Create a New Job 
This button leaves the Manage Jobs page and opens the Get Started page.
View Job Details 
This button leaves the Manage Jobs page and opens the View Job Details page.
Delete 
Stops (if running) and deletes the selected jobs.
If you no longer want to protect the source and no longer need the replica of the source on the target, select to delete the associated replica virtual machine. Selecting this option will remove the job and completely delete the replica virtual machine on the target.
If you no longer want to mirror and replicate data from the source to the target but still want to keep the replica of the source on the target, select to keep the associated replica virtual machine.
Provide Credentials 
Changes the login credentials that the job (which is on the target machine) uses to authenticate to the servers in the job. This button opens the Provide Credentials dialog box where you can specify the new account information and which servers you want to update. See Providing server credentials. You will remain on the Manage Jobs page after updating the server credentials. If your servers use the same credentials, make sure you also update the credentials on the Manage Servers page so that the Double-Take Console can authenticate to the servers in the console session. See Managing servers.
