Monitor Usage with the Manage Plugins Tool

Curious about how much data each of your backup types is using? The “Manage Plugins” tool in the backup monitor is a great way to keep an eye on usage, and determine from where the majority of your usage originates.

Start the backup monitor, and browse to the My Account section. In the “I want to…” menu on the left, click “Manage Plugins.” This screen will list all the built-in plugins included with the backup solution. You’ll be able to see at quick glance how much data is being used by your Exchange, SQL, and files and folders backups. This can be an invaluable tool in analyzing an account’s usage, and in taking measures to reduce your client’s usage if necessary.
