Live Activities

July 21, 2025

To check on the current backup and restore status with the progress monitor in percentage, simply click the Live Activities icon under “Monitoring” from your AhsayCBS web console.

Live Activities

Aside from backup and restore, you can also check the replication, receiver and redirection jobs that are currently running. As well as restore drill jobs that are pending or running.

There are six tabs, each of which is described below:

Backup Status

This section shows a list of agent based and agentless backup job(s) that is currently running. Once a backup job is completed, the entry will be immediately removed from the Live Activities.

Backup Status

For agentless Microsoft 365 and Cloud File backup job(s), aside from monitoring the backup job(s) from here, each agentless backup Java process can also be monitored at an operating system level on the AhsayCBS server.

For more details on how to monitor the agentless backup Java process, please refer to Monitor Run on Server Backup Java Process.

It will also show a list of agent based and agentless backup job(s) that were terminated abnormally. Examples of these are:

  • The backup machine was shutdown, rebooted or AhsayOBM/AhsayACB was killed using Windows Task Manager.
  • AhsayOBM/AhsayACB client crashed during a backup job, the affected entries will be automatically cleared after 72 hours.
  • Agentless Microsoft 365 and Cloud File backup job(s) that have become unresponsive and have been terminated. There are several methods to terminate the unresponsive agentless backup job(s). For more information, please refer to Terminate Unresponsive Run on Server Backup Jobs.

The following table shows if a backup type for a particular client can be monitored from the Backup Status tab.
