The backup retry for a job is performed only if a job fails. Druva does not perform backup retry for jobs that have successfully finished but with errors.
An automatic job retry is not triggered for a manually triggered job.
Skipped (8): The jobs that did not start within the scheduled window because another job is in progress.
