Known Issue

In the administration console, devices that are 100% backed up may incorrectly display a red progress bar instead of a green progress bar. If the backup percentage is listed as 100%, and the device’s Last Backup Activity and Completed time is less than the threshold for a critical alert, then the device’s backup is complete and no action is necessary.
