On the Virtual Standby tab in the Core Console, you can view the status of exports that you have set up, including one-time exports and continuous exports for virtual standby. On this tab, you can manage exports by pausing, stopping, removing exports, or viewing a queue of upcoming exports.

1. On the Core Console, navigate to the Virtual Standby tab. On the Virtual Standby tab you can view a table of saved export settings, which includes the information described in the following table.

   Menu	Description
   Status	NOTE: The status of the virtual standby configuration, is defined by the color of the icon. Green –The Virtual Standby is successfully configured, is active, and not paused. The next Virtual Standby export will be performed after the next snapshot. Yellow – The virtual standby is paused and is still saved by the Core. However, after a new transfer, the export job will not start automatically and there will be no new Virtual Standby exports for this agent.
   Machine Name	The name of the source machine.
   Destination	The virtual machine and path to which data is being exported.
   Export Type	The type of virtual machine platform for the export, such as, ESXi, VMware, Hyper-V, or VirtualBox.
   Last Export	The date and time of the last export. If an export has just been added but has not completed, a message will display stating the export has not yet been performed. If an export has failed or was cancelled, a corresponding message also will display.

2. To manage saved export settings, select an export, and then click one of the following:
   • Pause: To pause the export.
   • Resume: To restart a paused export.
   • Force: To force a new export. This option could be helpful when virtual standby is paused and then resumed, which means the export job will restart only after a new transfer. If you do not want to wait for the new transfer, you could force an export.
3. To remove an export from the system, click Remove. When you remove an export, it is permanently removed from the system and you will not be able to re-start it.
4. To view details about the active exports currently in queue to be completed, click Show Export Queue. The following table is displayed:
