View detailed backup and storage stats via IDrive® BMR web interface
September 24, 2018When choosing a backup service, you need to make sure that the solution is right for your business and data type. IDrive BMR caters to a wide array of business data protection needs by combining onsite bare-metal restoration functionalities with offsite Cloud Replication technology. It lets you perform full, incremental and manual backups of your critical data to your BMR server and then transfer the data backed up to the cloud, creating a secondary repository for your data.
You can monitor all your backup jobs and their storage by going through the detailed status and logs under the 'Statistics' and 'Logs' tab of your IDrive BMR server web interface. The information that you can gather from these two tabs include:
- Health status of the BMR device - View the health status of the BMR hard drives and raid devices under the 'Hard Drive Health Status' and 'Raid Health Status' section of the 'System Health' tab.
- Detailed storage insights - Get complete details of the storage space consumed by your VM and physical machine backups – the size of the backed up data, Dedup Factor, the actual space consumed by the backup, space saved, VM details, Cloud Replication status and file restore sessions.
You can also copy, print or export the backup statistics of your physical machines and virtual machines in CSV, Excel or PDF format by clicking on the 'Export' button.

- Image-based backup - Backup entire hard drives in the form of 'image' files with system and file-level bare-metal recovery capabilities.
