I appreciate that. But what I wondered, if ADBPA tool says this information is &quot;informational&quot;, it doesnt really indicate whether you are backing up or you arent. It doesnt say if its a pass or a fail. It doesnt say either way.

It only says you havent backed up in the last 8 days. So my guess is it is not configured to backup.

but it just says &quot;should&quot; not &quot;has not been&quot;, so again I am unsure if its reporting a pass, or an issue?

Can I ask for the best practices analyzer - if it only states severity &quot;informational&quot;, - does that mean you are compliant with the best practice? For example it just says &quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;The directory partition xyz on the domain controller xyz should have been backed up within the last 8 days&quot;<br />
<br />
But as this is listed as severity informational - I dont understand if thats telling us there is a problem or if we are ok on this specific finding?
