This page shows you the history of a profile, e.g. when it was run, where it was run, the result, etc. If the profile has not been run yet then this page will not be shown. This is similar to the log files except it's provided in table form. The history is also recorded separately from the log files and uses less disk space, so you may want to keep a longer history. A profiles history is also sent to the SyncBack Management Service (
Pro version only) to enable remote monitoring of profiles. Note that no history is kept of simulated runs or integrity checks.
There are two tabs: Simple and Detailed. The Simple tab just lists the last five runs of the profile and gives a brief overview of what happened. e.g. when the profile was run. The Detailed tab shows every profile run and all the details for those runs.
On the Detailed tab, if you right-click on the history then a pop-up menu appears. Using this pop-up menu you can choose which columns to show or hide. See the Columns section below for the meaning of each column.
You can export the entire profile history to a comma-delimited (CSV) file by clicking the Export all... button.
Scripts ( Pro version only) have access to most of this information via the SBHistory object.
