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

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:

- A badge with **how many backups are running right now**.
- An **amber** badge with **how many sets need attention**.

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](https://storagestudio.us/faq/backups/what-does-needs-attention-mean-on-a-backup).
