IBM Lotus Foundations Rescue reports

Backup reports, including information about the success or failure of a backup, are generated by the IBM Lotus Foundations Start server. When an IBM Lotus Foundations Start server is configured to send backups to an IBM Lotus Foundations Rescue server, the backup reports also include the success or failure of a remote backup. These reports can be sent to an external address as well as a user on the IBM Lotus Foundations Start server.

Vault reports generated by the IBM Lotus Foundations Rescue server focus on the operating status of the IBM Lotus Foundations Rescue server. These reports are sent to a user created on the IBM Lotus Foundations Rescue server only.
