When Restore Policies is selected in the Policies tree pane, the content pane displays information describing the overall status of all of these policies. Use this view to quickly determine whether your servers are in compliance with your corporate restore policies.
What does the Current Status mean?
The Current Status displays the most recent, combined status of all operations performed by your restore policies. Even though there are multiple operation statuses, the overall policy status reflects the most critical operation status. When all restores have been completed successfully according to the policy schedule, a green okay icon is displayed.
What is the Last Operation Status?
The Last Operation Status shows an overview of the most recent backup, restore, or log shipping operations that occurred across your enterprise. Use this view to quickly determine whether your servers are in compliance with your corporate policies. Click the status to see more detail about your operations.
