The Job Status screen provides a possibility to check all performed jobs. Jobs related to apps and Edge Devices are listed under the System tab, jobs regarding backup and restore operations of Edge Devices are listed under the Backups tab. Each job is displayed in an own row. At the end of each row, the status of the performed job is displayed, for example whether or not the job execution was successful.

Not enough disk space for backup data

When storing an IED state of an Edge Device (Edge Device backup), the Something went wrong - please retry error message might occur when the process has failed. If this error message is displayed, check whether there is still enough free disk space available in the hard disk for storing backup data since this might be the failure reason. You can check the free and used disk space in the Statistics subsection of the Maintenance UI.
