+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

where:

Date/Time
The date and time that backup data was recorded on the volume.

Volume Type
Whether the backup was full or incremental.

Backup Series
The identifying number of the backup series. A backup series is a full backup and all incremental backups before the next full backup.

Backup Operation
The operation number of the backup volume. In a backup series the full backup is operation 0, the first incremental backup is operation 1, the second incremental backup is operation 2, and so on.

Volume Seq
The sequence, or position, of the volume in the backup series. Volume sequence 1 identifies the first volume of the first operation (a full backup), and so on. If a full backup occupies three volumes, the volume sequence numbers are 1, 2, and 3.

Device Class
The name of the device class for the volume.

Volume Name
The name of the volume.
