Rapid Detection of Problems
BWeb has several tools to help you quickly find backup problems by using the 80/20 rule. Certain servers could have configuration problems (switch port in half-duplex, saturation of E/S, Firewalls, …) which cause problems in proper ordering of your Jobs. In Statistics \(\rightarrow\) Type \(\rightarrow\) “Time,Size,Files” and “Time,Files,Size” you can graphically see the classification of your Jobs by backup time, number of files backed, and file size (Cf. figure 62).
Each circle — which can be selected with the mouse — represents a backup whose name can be seen in a tool-tip. This view permits you to quickly see what Jobs are fast, slow, have a large number of files, a large backup volume, …
You can see in the example figure 62 that Job (1) is rather small and yet took a lot of time to run. Other Jobs with similar sizes finish much faster. By clicking on the circle you will get the backup report for the Job in question, and you will be able to start your investigation.
