Question
What do the different job statuses mean?
Answer
The statuses that a job can have are described in the table below.
| Status | Definition |
|---|---|
Success | The job is complete and was successful. |
Running | The last information the server received from the device is that the job is currently running. |
Running (revived) | The job was thought to have been in an Abandoned state but updated the Comet Management Console with a running status. |
In Progress (retry) | The job encountered an error during its last run, and is currently waiting to try again later. |
Not Yet Started | The job was created by manually starting a job in the Comet Management Console or via the API, but the backup agent has not yet started working. |
Warning | The job is complete but there was a problem that may have resulted in issues with the expected result. |
Error | There was an error during the job and it did not fully complete. |
Quota Exceeded | During a backup job either the "All protected items" quota or "Storage Vault" quota was exceeded. |
Missed | The job did not start at its scheduled time. |
Cancelled | The job was cancelled manually, a device shutdown was detected, or the backup time limit was reached. |
Skipped | The backup job was skipped as there was already a backup running and the "Skip if already running" option was enabled. |
Abandoned | The job has stopped unexpectedly or has been manually marked as abandoned by an admin. |
