Required User Credentials

Overview

Backup and archive jobs provide detailed information about both the job itself and the data they store. You can view field-level details of backed-up objects, as well as job-specific information, including statistics on backed-up records, metadata components, and transaction logs. This article explains how to access job details and outlines the available information, helping you gain insight into the backup process and verify the integrity of your data.

Viewing Job Details

Once a backup or archive job is complete, you can access detailed information about the job and the data it backed up. The following instructions show you how to access a job’s details. The information provided by the job is outlined in each of the sections below.

Select Job to View

  1. Click Backup & Archive from the sidebar menu.

  2. Click the Organization Switcher from the breadcrumb path.

  3. Select the organization you wish to view.

  4. Click the History tab.

  5. Click a backup or archive job to view its details.

  6. Each of the following sections explains a different tab of the job details.

2

Overview Tab

  • The Overview tab provides important information about the backup process. It includes details such as the backup type, status, and run time.

  • Statistics for records backed up by this job include backup size, the number of records included, and the number of records added, modified, and deleted.

  • Templated Backups and Templated Archives also include an Open Template button that lets you view the template and objects included in the job.

3

Data Tab

  • The Data tab shows all objects in the backup. You can search for specific objects and sort the table by any of the columns.

  • Clicking an object opens its backup details, including a table of the records in the backup. If no records for an object were added, changed, or deleted, no records will be listed here.

  • Clicking on a record allows you to view the field Details for the record.

  • The History tab lets you compare fields to previous versions.

  • Use the Select version dropdown menu to pick a version to compare this version to.

  • Click the Show/Hide identical fields button to toggle between showing all fields and showing only changed fields.

4

Metadata Tab

  • The Metadata tab shows all metadata objects in the backup. You can search for specific objects and sort the table by any of the columns.

  • Clicking on a metadata object opens a list of records for that object.

  • Clicking on a record allows you to view the field values for the record.

  • If the job did not include metadata, the Metadata tab will display No Objects in the table.

5

Settings Tab

Templated Archive jobs lack a Settings tab because there are no settings to configure for these jobs.

  • The Settings tab displays the Job Settings chosen for this backup. The objects included in the backup are indicated by a grayed-out checkbox with a check mark. In the example below, all objects are included.

6

Logs Tab

  • The Logs tab displays a list of all objects the job analyzed, along with the job log entries. The table of objects is searchable and can be filtered by column.

  • You can filter the objects by their status by choosing Total, Queued, In Progress, Exception, or Completed from the status bar above the search bar.

  • Clicking the Download button will save a CSV file of the backup job’s logs.
