For example, if the policy is applied to three machines and has the"Deploying" state on the 1st machine, the "Updating" state on the 2nd machine and the "Deployed"state on the 3rd machine, the state of the policy will be "Deploying, Updating, Deployed."A backup policy deployment state on a group of machines is a combination of the policy deploymentstates on the machines included in the group.For detailed information about backup policy deployment states, see the Backup policy's state andstatuses (p. 66) section.7.1.2.2 Backup policy statusesA backup policy status is the cumulative status of the policy statuses on all machines the policy isapplied to. For example, if the policy is applied to three machines and has the "OK" status on the 1stmachine, the "Warning" status on the 2nd machine and the "Error" status on the 3rd machine, thestatus of the policy will be "Error."A backup policy status on a group of machines is the cumulative status of the policy statuses on themachines included in the group.The following table shows a summary of possible backup policy statuses.Status How it is determined How to handle1 Error The policy status on at leastone machine is "Error".Otherwise, see 2.View the log or identify the failed tasks to find out the reasonof the failure, then do one or more of the following: Remove the reason of the failure -> [optionally] Start thefailed task manually Edit the backup policy to prevent future failure2 Warning The policy status on at leastone machine is "Warning".Otherwise, see 3.View the log to read the warnings -> [optionally] Performactions to prevent future warnings or failure.3 OK The policy status on allmachines is "OK".No action is required. Note that if a backup policy is notapplied to any machine, its state is also "OK".What to do if a policy has the Error status1. To find out the reason of the failure, do one or more of the following: Click the Error hyperlink to see the log entry of the latest occurred error. Select the policy and click View tasks. Check the tasks that have Failed as their last result:select a task and then click View log. Select a log entry and then click View details. Thisapproach comes in handy if the policy state is Deployed, that is, the policies' tasks alreadyexist on the managed machines. Select the policy and click View log. Check the "error" log entries to find out the reason ofthe failure: select a log entry and then click View details. This approach comes in handy if thepolicy has errors while being deployed, revoked or updated.In the Tasks view, apply the Last result -> Failed filter if there are too many tasks. You can also sort thefailed tasks by backup plans or by machines.
