Overview

Backup Activity Report provides a comprehensive list of all backup operations performed for resources of the protected workloads such as VMware VMs, Nutanix AHV VMs, Hyper-V, File servers, NAS, MS SQL Servers, Oracle PBS, Oracle DTC, SAP HANA, and Azure VMs. It gives insights into the status of each backup job run for each resource, based on which you can perform analysis and take corrective actions. For example, if the backup operation fails because of the exceeding quota, you may go ahead and buy additional credits based on the consumption requirements.

📝 Note

The Backup Activity Report for Hybrid Workloads can be downloaded for up to the past 18 months.
