Dashboard visibility

Database backup dashboard for teams that need recoverability, not just alerts

A strong database backup dashboard gives DBAs, SREs, and infrastructure managers a central place to see backup history, failed jobs, schedules, storage destinations, restore workflows, and reports.

What the dashboard should answer

The first question is not only “did the backup run?” A useful dashboard should help operators answer what ran, where the artifact is, what failed, what requires attention, whether schedules are lagging, and which backup ID should be used for a restore drill.

  • Recent backup status.
  • Failed backup and restore jobs.
  • Artifact destination and retention context.
  • Restore job history.
  • Schedule lag and operational attention.

Why history matters

Backup history is the operational record. When a restore is needed, the team needs the source backup ID, artifact location, backup type, storage target, job logs, and retention outcomes.

  • Source backup ID for restore workflows.
  • Job status and timestamps.
  • Storage target and object path.
  • Failure reason and review status.

How DBAegis presents visibility

DBAegis exposes dashboard, connections, storage, schedules, backup history, restore, reports, notifications, and access-control workflows in the UI. This creates a stronger buyer experience than a collection of hidden scripts.

  • Dashboard for first health view.
  • Backup history for operational record.
  • Restore page for artifact and target workflows.
  • Reports and notifications according to edition.
