The first line of the notification area consists of:

The second line of this area displays the current action performed on your site, e.g. backing up the database or backing up the site folders and files. The next line displays the current item which is being acted upon, as reported by the JoomlaPack component. When downloading a file, a download progress bar will be displayed instead.

If an error occured, right below these three lines an area with red text is displayed, containing the error message.

The notification area during the download of the backup archive (or debug log, in case an error happened) is similar in layout to what it looks like during the backup process. The first line consists of:

The second line displays a progress bar which fills while the file is being downloaded, provided that your FTP server supports reporting of the file sizes. Otherwise, it will remain empty. Below this there is another line which indicates the amount of Kilobytes received over the total file size, again if your FTP server supports reporting of the file sizes.

The process is by no means different than the single site backup. You can either start the backup process for each site manually, following the advice above, or use the Backup, All Sites menu item to start backing up all of the sites at once. If the need arises, you can abort any of those backups, or even all of them. In fact, JoomlaPack Remote is not aware if it's backing up a single site or multiple sites. Each backup process runs in its own, self-contained thread, isolated from the rest of the application.

You can select multiple sites. Just click and drag your cursor to select multiple rows. Do note, however, that you only make contiguous selections, i.e. select only adjacent rows. The Backup and Abort operations will apply to all selected rows at once.

It goes without saying that the queue limits are respected. If the number of sites to backup is greater than the queue size then the rest of the sites are queued.
