Help

To access the Help section, click on the question mark icon. Under Help, you can find ways to contact our support team should you need assistance with anything on the RedApp. 

Notifications

You can see your latest notifications by clicking the bell icon. The Recent tab shows completed backups and recoveries, backup set additions and deletions, and related information. The Tasks tab shows tasks that are in progress, while the Queued tab shows tasks that have not yet started.

Audit trail

The audit trail is a basic, user-friendly log that shows a history of user actions. You can view the audit trail for your organisation by clicking the magnifying glass icon.

Dashboards

One of the key features of the RedApp is the various dashboards that show you real-time analytics of your data estate. You can view a dashboard of all your customers or see dashboards for individual Redstor products such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Machines.
