# VM Backup Status

The report provides daily backup status for all VMs protected with Veeam Backup & Replication.

## Description

:::

## Parameters

Date/time Selection: defines the time period to analyze in the report.

Histogram: defines the type of values shown on the x-axis of the chart (weekdays, weeks or months). To hide the report chart, choose *No*.

Scope: defines a list of Groups or Objects that will be analyzed in the report (by default, the **VMware vCenter Group**, **Veeam Hyper-V Virtual Machines Group** and **Veeam Backup Sever Group** are selected). The **Add Group** option returns a group and all objects that the group contains. The **Add Object** option returns only the selected object.

Group By: defines how data will be grouped in the report table (by *Job* or *Location*).

## Sample Usage

Show the status of VM backup and replication tasks for the previous week.

### Instructions

1. Open the VM Backup Status report.
2. From the **From** list, select *Previous week > Monday*. From the **To** list, select *Previous week > Friday*.
3. Leave the **Histogram** list without changes.
4. Leave the **Scope** section without changes.
5. From the **Group By** list, select *Job*.
6. Click **Run** to view the report.

### Report Output

The report will display information on the status of backup and replication tasks for the previous week.

The **VM Backup Status** chart will display how many times backup and replication tasks completed successfully, ended with warnings or failed on each day of the previous week.

The report table will provide a list of protected VMs and display daily backup or replication results. If backup or replication tasks for the same VM were performed several times a day, the report will show the best completion status.
