Backup Journal#

Backup Journal is a history of backup runs. Each row in the table describes a separate task: when it was created, where the copies are stored, which accounts were processed, start and completion times, and the overall result. From the journal, you can quickly open the folder with the ready archives, rerun a task, or delete a record.

Location: access to the section is through the left navigation panel, the "Backups" section, item "Log".

Available actions:

  • search for entries by entered query
  • refresh the journal list
  • show or hide table columns
  • select one or multiple rows
  • delete selected entries
  • rerun tasks for individual entries


Top Control Panel#

At the top of the page, there is the title "Backup Journal" and the Refresh icon, which reloads the current list of journal records.

Below is a field with the placeholder "Search..." used for quickly finding the necessary entries by the entered value. To the right is the Columns button that opens the "Columns" modal window, where you can hide unnecessary data or change their order by simple drag-and-drop.

If you select one or multiple rows using checkboxes, a Delete (N) button appears above the table, where N is the number of selected entries.


Journal Table#

The main area of the page is a table with a list of tasks. Each row corresponds to a journal entry and includes the following columns:

  • Created At — the date and time the journal entry was created.
  • Type — the type or destination of storage, displayed with an icon, for example local storage or Google Drive cloud storage.
  • Path — contains a folder icon that opens the system file manager in the directory where the archives for the respective entry are stored.
  • Accounts — a list of profiles involved in the task. Displays account names.
  • Started At — the date and time the task actually started.
  • Status — execution result indicator. Hovering over the status value displays a detailed tooltip showing the number of successful and failed copies and the total number of accounts.
  • Completed At — the date and time the task was completed.

Record Management#

Sorting rows in the table is done by clicking on the column header, next to which an indicator is displayed. Sorting is available for the columns: "Created At", "Type", "Started At", "Completed At". Clicking again toggles the sorting direction.

On the left side of the table, there are checkboxes: a checkbox in a row selects a specific entry, and a checkbox in the table header selects all rows on the page for bulk actions.

On the right at the end of each row, individual actions are available:

  • Rerun — opens a modal window to confirm rerunning the task.
  • Delete — opens the "Delete backup tasks" modal window to confirm deleting the entry.
