Your backup is at risk of non-compliance, based on the SLA at-risk criteria you set while creating your Backup Plan. This status is useful if you'd like to reduce the risk of falling out of compliance at the end of your SLA window with early notifications that allow you to take proactive measures. For example, let's say your RPO time is 6 hours and your SLA at-risk criteria is set to 50% (3 hours) of the RPO time elapsed without RPO being met. If 3 hours pass and your RPO has not been met yet, your backup will display as Once a backup is flagged as |

The SLA window ended and your backup is out of compliance according to the SLA requirements you set while creating your Backup Plan. For example, let's say your SLA requirements require that 10 successful results are to be expected within the SLA window. If your SLA windows ends and only 5 successful results were received, your backup will display as It's possible to be |

The SLA window ended and your backup is out of compliance according to the SLA requirements you set while creating your Backup Plan and due to no backup results being received. |

Your backup is not expected to run during this timeframe, so no results are expected. By default these results are not shown on the Daily Activity page, but they can be included by using the Filters sidebar. |
Click any status to review the progression of the SLA compliance data for the selected date, ultimately always ending in either In compliance or
Out of compliance by the end of your chosen SLA window on the selected date.

Note: You can only assign your backup or system alert result to a compatible Backup Plan (i.e. a Backup Plan with a matching vendor, application, and source; these three fields are your backup job or system alert's primary key). When you assign a result to another Backup Plan, that Backup Plan's additional filters will be automatically updated to include Company, Device Name, and Job Name conditions that match the exact values of the selected backup job or system alert. Once assigned to another Backup Plan, your result becomes subject to the SLA and schedule of that plan. If you'd like to bulk-assign several backups or system alerts to a Backup Plan, navigate to the Edit Backups page and click the Bulk Assign to Backup Plan button in the top menu. Note: You can select either only backup jobs or only system alerts per bulk-assign. All selected results must be compatible with the chosen Backup Plan. |
Expanded Result View
Click the Expand/Collapse button to view the expanded result view for your backup data until the end of the SLA window on the selected date.
This will display all the raw results (successes, failures, and warnings) associated with the parent backup job or system alert.

Success) for this result. You can click on the status to view more details.
d. RPO met?: If Recovery Point Objective (RPO) was configured during Backup Plan setup, this field indicates whether RPO has been met ( yes or
no) for this backup result. This field is about the time between successful results. For system alerts, this column will always be blank.
e. RPO actual: The actual RPO for this backup result. For system alerts, this column will always be blank.
f. RPO expected: The RPO specified in your Backup Plan for this backup result. For system alerts, this column will always be blank.

If you also assigned categories for your Primary and/or Replication classifications during Backup Plan setup, your categories will appear here (for example, Local Storage and Offsite Storage). For more details, see classification.
i. Selected Data Size: The total size of the backup result. For system alerts, this column will always be blank.
j. Data Transferred: The size of whatever portion of the backup was successfully processed. If this number matches the Selected Data Size, your backup was fully transferred. For system alerts, this column will always be blank.
