What do the badges on the Data Backup card on the Home screen mean?

\n

Short answer: One badge shows how many backups are running now; an amber badge shows how many backup sets need attention. Open the card to see what's wrong and the fix offered.

\n

The Data Backup card on the Home screen shows two badges so you can tell at a glance whether you're covered without opening the window:

\n
  • A badge with how many backups are running right now.
  • An amber badge with how many sets need attention.
\n

If the amber badge appears, open the card. The set that needs you explains the problem in plain English and offers the fix — see what "Needs attention" means.
