Backup Activity Report for MSPs
Updated over 3 months ago

Overview

Backup Activity Report provides a comprehensive list of all backup operations performed for resources of the workloads configured in the organizations. It gives insights into the status of each backup job run for each resource, based on which MSPs can perform analysis and take corrective actions. For example, if the backup operation fails because of the exceeding quota, MSPs may go ahead and buy additional credits based on the consumption requirements.

The combination of global customer ID, customer name, and account name provides a powerful tool for identifying specific entries in a large dataset.

There are a few quick filters that you can use to filter out the data quickly based on specific requirements such as service plan, customer name, workloads, and status. The use of quick filters enhances the usability of the reports and provides more targeted insights. The following table lists details of the quick filters.
