The Protect page provides status information about your protected assets. It shows an inventory of the assets and the status of backups and backup copies that ran over the last seven days. To adjust the refresh rate of the Protect page, click the configuration icon in its upper-right corner to display Tile Preferences. For more information about data protection, see the Protection Overview chapter.

The Protect page contains the following buttons:
• | Backup - Opens the Create Backup job dialog. For details on creating a backup job, see Creating backup jobs. |
• | Backup Copy - Opens the Create Backup Copy job dialog. For details on creating a backup copy job, see Creating backup copy jobs. |
All managed appliances and their protected assets display in a tree view:
• | Appliances display as top-level nodes. |
• | Virtual hosts and physical assets display as second-level sub-nodes. |
• | Hosted VMs and applications display as sub-nodes under their host asset. |
To customize the inventory tree display, you can group assets in custom folders and assign users to the groups you create. See Grouping assets in custom folders for details.
Use these options while working with the inventory tree:
• | To look for an asset by name, use the Search field below. |
• | To add, remove, or edit asset groups, click the Manage Groups icon located above the tree. |
• | To view asset groups, click the Show Groups icon located above the tree. |
• | To hide asset groups, click the Hide Groups icon located above the tree. |
Selecting an appliance or asset from the inventory tree populates the Status table, to the right, with details about backups and backup copies for each protected asset. The Status table can be filtered by the Name column. Backups run within the last seven days display status icons under the Backup and Backup Copies columns. Hovering over the status icons displays status information for a specific day. Clicking a status icon for an asset opens the Details screen. If the Backup and Backup Copies information areas are grayed-out, the selected asset has not been backed up within the past seven days.
Use the following to filter what is displayed in the Status table:
• | Filter field - Enter text to display only asset names that contain the string you entered. |
• | Backup drop-down - Select an item from this list to display only backups that meet the condition you selected. For example, Failed in the last 7 days to see only the backups that have failed in the last 7-day period, or No successes in the last 7 days to see only the assets that have not had a successful backup in the last 7-day period (this includes cases where no backup jobs have run and cases where backups have run but none were successful). |
• | Backup Copies drop-down - Select an item from this list to display only backup copies that meet the condition you selected. For example, Failed in the last 7 days to see only the backup copies that have failed in the last 7-day period, or No successes in the last 7 days to see only the assets that have not had a successful backup copyin the last 7-day period (this includes cases where no backup copy jobs have run and cases where backup copies have run but none were successful). |
