Abstract: A system and method of monitoring retention of backups made of various systems, servers, files, and the like is provided. The system and method may include receiving retention data at a retention monitoring system. The retention data may include an actual retention period for one or more systems, servers, files, and the like, and may further include determining whether the actual retention period matches a predefined retention period. If so, the data may be formatted, compiled, and displayed. If the actual retention period does not match the predefined retention period, the retention data may be identified as non-standard and then may be formatted, compiled, and/or displayed. Additional aspects of the system and method may include receiving an actual amount of storage capacity used by the backups of the systems, servers, files, and the like. If the actual amount of storage capacity does not match an allotted amount of capacity, the data may be identified as non-standard.

Abstract: A system and method of monitoring and displaying a status of a backup at one or more locations is presented. The system and method may include identifying a status of a backup at a first location, identifying a status of a backup at a second location and displaying the statuses at a backup system monitor. In some examples, the statuses may be displayed simultaneously. In still other examples, the received status of a backup system may be flagged if it is within a predetermined threshold. The received statuses may be displayed graphically in order to aid in identifying issues and prioritizing allocation of resources.

Abstract: A system and method of monitoring retention of backups made of various systems, servers, files, etc. is provided. The system and method may include receiving retention data at a retention monitoring system. The retention data may include an actual retention period for one or more systems, servers, files, etc. and may further include determining whether the actual retention period matches a predefined retention period. If so, the data may be formatted, compiled, and displayed. If the actual retention period does not match the predefined retention period, the retention data may be identified as non-standard and then may be formatted, compiled, and/or displayed. Additional aspects of the system and method may include receiving an actual amount of storage capacity used by the backups of the systems, servers, files, etc. If the actual amount of storage capacity does not match an allotted amount of capacity, the data may be identified as non-standard.

Abstract: An enhanced backup and retention management module associated with an entity may track access and changes made to configuration files that specify backup and/or retention policies for servers located on a network. The management module may also prevent unauthorized users from accessing or making changes to the configuration files. Additional features of the system may include a reporting capability that alerts appropriate personnel of who accessed and/or attempted to modify a backup/retention policy for a server, the name of the server whose policy may have been affected, and specific details of the file modifications that were made/attempted.
