Backups & restore points · Status and problems
What do the backup statuses like Protected and Checking mean?
Short answer: Not backed up, Backing up…, Checking… (verifying), Protected (saved and verified), Needs attention (a problem with a fix offered) and Paused (on hold). Only Protected means fully covered.
Each backup set shows one status pill:
- Not backed up — nothing saved yet.
- Backing up… — a backup is running now.
- Checking… — the latest version is being verified.
- Protected — backed up and verified; you're covered.
- Needs attention — something's wrong; the card explains it and offers the fix.
- Paused — it's on hold and will resume later.
Under the buttons the card also shows when the last backup ran, with "· verified" once it has been checked.
