summary report page. This summary report page will show
when the last backup was performed.

To see more detail about the backup status, click the Backup
hyperlink on this report page, or select the Backup menu item
on the Reports tab. This detailed backup report will list the
last several backups performed, and give more detailed
information about each of them.

The status column shows a bullet that will be green if the
backup was successful, or yellow if there was a problem. The
date and time of the backup is listed in the next column. The
last column gives the name of the computer on which the
backup was placed the name of the file, and the size of the
backup file in megabytes.

The name of the backup file is created from the type of
backup, and the time and date it was performed. For example,
the backup file name CUSTOM.backup-172338-17Jan2001
means the backup was performed on January 17, 2001 at 5:23
in the afternoon, and was a custom backup of selected files.

The last method of viewing backup status is from the LCD
panel. If the LCD has been configured to show status on the
LCD, it will display the status of the last backup (success or
failure). This can be useful as a quick check to make sure
scheduled backups are being performed regularly and
successfully.

Encrypting backups

Security is always a consideration when performing any type
of backup. Placing backups on local computer drives or on
the Internet backup site can mean making files more easily
accessible to others, and can increase the chances of
unauthorized access to your private data.

In order to secure your backup data, the Magnia SG20 offers
the ability to encrypt the contents of a backup. This
encryption is powerful, and is extremely difficult to reverse
without your password.
