SSR 2011 not showing failed or missed backups.

So it sounds like the 2 jobs are backing up the same volume(s) - can you confirm.

Yes the same volumes,

one Job does C:\ and D:\ to E:\

the other job does C:\ and D:\ to 'network destination'.

it doesn't matter which job gives the error.

Example from a computer:

If the local job (to E:\) runs into a fail, and the offsite job (to network) finished normally.

The message to the clients home tab says that it has been succesfully backed up. Same message on the SSR 2011 Management Solutions

OK, I think this is expected behavior because the drive has been backed up recently.

Is there any reason why you have 2 jobs configured? I think a better way would be to have one job and then use the offsite copy feature to copy the recovery points to the network destination.

The local job is incremental and runs every week.

The offsite job is independent and runs twice a month.

This due to network traffic

But a job has failed, why it doesn't report it.

You could setup STMP notifications which would allow you to monitor the status of backups.

Can you confirm what was causing the backup failure?

Doesn´t matter which error is generated.

To confirm your question: not enough disk space for the backup.

Example from one of the computers:

12% disk space left, 9,6GB free on 80GB disk/partition. But the backup is bigger than 10GB.

Causing an error that the Backup to E:\ has failed.

While the offsite doesn't have an error it will report to the home screen and to the Management Solutions that the computer is backed-up.

FYI

The network is not connected to the internet.

We did used the offsite copy method (not 2 jobs, but 1 job with copy feature)

If the Backup succeded and the copy had failed, no error was created.

I'm not sure I follow you...

However, I will try and explain: if offsite copy fails, it will not affect the overall status of the machine (i.e. 'Backed Up, 'At Risk' etc).

That's the reason we removed the offsite copy from the local job and made it a job of its own.

If the offsite fails, the 'SSR 2011 Management Solutions' will show the computer its status as 'Backed Up', thats incorrect because the offsite has failed.
