Viewing the status of a job and job pairs

A backup job may consist of several Business Servers being backed up to a Protection Server. Each Business Server-Protection Server connection for a specific job constitutes a job pair. The status of each job and job pair can be monitored to provide job details and logs.

The current jobs appear in the upper results pane, and the pairs that are associated with a selected job appear in the lower results pane.
