Backup Timeline

The Backup Timeline in Portworx Backup provides a graphical view of all cluster backups you created in the last 24 hours and 30 days time period. Using the Backup Timeline, you can view the:

Total backups you created in a specific time period
Status of the created backups

NOTE: When you upgrade to Portworx Backup 2.0.0 from earlier versions, the Backup Timeline displays the current and other existing backups you created prior to the upgrade. The backups you deleted in the previous Portworx Backup versions do not appear in the Backup Timeline.

Prerequisites

To view your backup applications in the Backup Timeline, ensure at least one backup exists in Portworx Backup. See the Create backup topic, if you want to back up your clusters.
