Completion states

When a SQL Backup Master job executes, it will ultimately end up in one of five different states:

  • Succeeded - This state represents a successful backup.
  • Warning - Indicates that one or more warnings were logged during backup.
  • Errored - This state indicates that the backup was successfully uploaded to at least one backup destination, but others failed.
  • Failed - Indicates that all backup destinations failed, or some other critical error occurred.
  • Canceled - The backup job was canceled by a user or by system shutdown.

Note: A backup job can also be in a Running (backup in progress) or Never run (job was created but not yet run) state.
