Job Configuration Change Tracking

Veeam Backup & Replication jobs can be configured in the Veeam Backup & Replication console, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager web portal, using PowerShell or REST API. Veeam backup agent jobs can be configured in the Veeam Backup & Replication console, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager web portal and Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows Control Panel. In large environments with multiple backup administrators it is often hard to tell who changed job settings, when and what was changed.

The Job Configuration Change Tracking report helps you track job modification changes performed within the reporting period, identify who and when made changes to job configuration, and thus simplify troubleshooting.

Note

The report allows you to track job configuration changes only for the Standalone and Managed by agent type of Veeam Backup & Replication servers.
