The Job Status option allows you to view the jobs that have run in the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

This section is generated based on the Protection Type that you select to protect your database from the Protect Once option from the Actions menu. The Protection Types option for the database that is available are Use Existing Copy Policy, Snapshot, Express Protect, Catalyst Copy, Cloud Copy, Remote Snapshot, and Using ISV Backup. Each Copy Type has three columns associated with it and gives a clear indication of the status of the Copy Type creation status. The underlined numeric values for each of these columns are clickable and they navigate to the relevant copies dialog. This dialog allows you to perform a wide variety of actions for a selected Copy Type. The number displayed in the Error column in the Copies section corresponds to the number of failed jobs listed in the Job Status section for a particular Copy Type. Moreover, the Refresh option allows you to manually refresh the list of Copies section.

The Copy Policy displayed is clickable and navigates you to the Copy Policy page where, you can edit the required resources that are defined. In case where there is no Copy Policy assigned to a database, Add Protection link is displayed in the Scheduled Jobs section that navigates you to the Add Protection page to assign a Copy Policy.
