The Backup interface has been rebuilt to match the rest of Automate. Your policies, your data and your schedules are unchanged. This is a change to the interface, not to how Backup works.
The Backup status page shows the state of every backup in your domain, user by user and drive by drive. Go to Backup > Backup status.
The page has two tabs: Users and Shared Drives.
The users table
Before
After
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| User | Name, email address and profile image |
| Policy | The backup policy the user is on |
| Latest backup | When the user was last backed up |
| Coverage & Status | The item types of that backup and colour represents the status |
Finding a user
Use the search box to find someone by name or email address. It lists matching users as you type.
Filter the table by:
- Organisational unit that the user is assigned to
- Status, for example initial failed or succeeded
- Requires Action by item type
- Policy the user is assigned to
The shared drives table
Before
After
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| Shared drive | The drive name |
| Policy | The backup policy the drive is on |
| Latest backup | When the drive was last backed up |
| Status | The item types of that backup and colour represents the status |
Finding a shared drive
Use the search box to find the drive by entering the name. It lists matching drives as you type.
Filter the table by:
- Status, for example initial failed or succeeded
- Requires Action by item type
- Policy the user is assigned too
Exporting Data
Select the User Tab and the Export button
Select the Shared Drive Tab and the export button
Sorting and paging
Both tables show 10 rows at a time and are sorted with the most recent first. You can sort by name, or by oldest and newest.
Refreshing
The Refresh control pulls the latest status into the table without reloading the page. Use it while a backup is running rather than reloading the browser.
Looking at a single backup
Select a row to open the detail panel on the right, which shows the full state of that user's or drive's backup.
Before - User
After - User

Common questions
The table is empty
Check your filters first. If no filters are applied and the table is still empty, no users or drives have a backup policy assigned. See Backup policies.
A backup shows as failed
Open the row to see the detail. If it relates to policy configuration or permissions, see Troubleshooting Backup Policy Errors.
The status looks out of date
Use the refresh control rather than reloading the page.
