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.
Hybrid Workloads Administrators can view the Backup Activity Report depending on their access privileges. If you are a Cloud-derived administrator or a Data Protection Officer, you can view the report of backup activities of your configured workloads. If you are an Organization-derived administrator, you can view the report of backup activities of workload-specific to the organizations you have access to. If you are a Group-derived administrator, you can view the report of backup activities of workloads related to the administrative groups that you manage.
