# Viewing Backup Details

You can view detailed information about specific backup. To view backup details, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig backup show --id <backup_id>
```

where:

`<backup_id>` — ID of the backup for which you want to view detailed information.

Veeam Agent for Mac displays the following information:

<table style="width:100%;" class="Blue_Table">
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <th style="vertical-align:middle; width:20%;">
      <p>Parameter</p>
    </th>
    <th style="vertical-align:middle;">
      <p>Description</p>
    </th>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Machine name</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>Host name of the machine on which the backup job is configured and the name of the job.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Backed up</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>Backup scope for the file-level backup job.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

For example:

```
user@wrk01:~$ veeamconfig backup show --id ea64a7e5-038a-4c86-970a-6d59d4cf3968 
      Machine name: wrk01 DocsBackup
         File-level backup
         Backed up:
            /home/user/Documents
```
