Backup Details
A detailed listing of files contained in a backup is available by selecting a backup and clicking the 'Details' button. This listing will display 5,000 records at a time. A CSV download of the file listing can be created for import to an Excel file. Backups with up to 100,000 files can be saved in one download. Backups with more than 100,000 files will require multiple downloads.
For example, a backup with 450,000 files will require 5 CSV downloads:
- csv file 1: offset 0 - first 100,000 files
- csv file 2: offset 100,000 - second 100,000 files
- csv file 3: offset 200,000 - third 100,000 files
- csv file 4: offset 300,000 - fourth 100,000 files
- csv file 5: offset 400,000 - last 50,000 files
For a file listing such as the one described, you will be presented with a popup advising of the total number of files contained in the listing. From this popup you will be able to select the file offset as described above.
