About the Length of Time between Successful Backups Calculation
This section describes how the Length of Time between Successful Backups is calculated.
The Length of Time between Successful Backups calculation is the longest gap between two successful backups. The most recent successful backup needs to be in the selected reporting period, but the older success does not.
For example, if the reporting period is the entire month of May, and the backup set a completed successfully on May 10th, the software would determine when the last successful backup of backup set ran. The check would not stop at May 1st. If the last successful backup were April 25th, then the length of time would be between May 10th and April 25th, even though the reporting period is May 1st through May 31st.
