7.1.2.1. Backup policy deployment states
A backup policy deployment state is a combination of the policy deployment states on all machines
the policy is applied to. 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 deployment
states on the machines included in the group.
For detailed information about backup policy deployment states, see the Backup policy's state and
statuses (p. 74) section.
7.1.2.2. Backup policy statuses
A backup policy status is the cumulative status of the policy statuses on all machines the policy is
applied to. For example, if the policy is applied to three machines and has the "OK" status on the 1st
machine, the "Warning" status on the 2nd machine and the "Error" status on the 3rd machine, the
status of the policy will be "Error."
A backup policy status on a group of machines is the cumulative status of the policy statuses on the
machines included in the group.
The following table shows a summary of possible backup policy statuses.
