provisioningNiagara-BackupStepDetailsView

This view shows the details for a Backup Stations step executed against a single station, while that step is still running. You access this from the Niagara Network Job View or the Station Job List by clicking “>>” next to the running step.

If the job step is other than a Backup Stations step, and the step is still running, you see a slightly different view, the Niagara Network Job View. In either case, once the step finishes, neither view is accessible. Both are replaced by the Batch Job Step Log File View.

This view provides a summary table of log messages that occur during step execution. To view additional Log Details, if any, double-click an individual row.

Note: Provisioning backups work using either the local BackupService or the CloudBackupService. When the CloudBackupService is installed it provides all the functions of the local BackupService. You canmake successful backups using either the Backup Manager view to create manual backups or using the Backup Stations step in provisioning jobs in the Supervisor. Backups will contain the expected files based on the CloudBackupService exclusions. Backups created by a provisioning job prototype follow the configured job disposition settings and will be deleted when new backups are created.
