Backup Infrastructure Audit

This report tracks configuration changes in your backup environment, providing detailed information about every change for each object.

  • The Summary section includes the following elements:
    • The Modifications by Object Types chart illustrates types of changed objects and shows the share of particular object type changes.
    • The Modifications per User chart illustrates which users made changes and shows the share of changes made by each user.
  • The Change Details table lists descriptions of changes made to particular objects.

Note:

  • For WAN accelerators used in Veeam Cloud Connect jobs, performance data is available only if the target WAN accelerator is present in the Veeam ONE infrastructure.
  • Veeam Cloud Connect service providers cannot see performance data for proxies used by tenant data protection jobs.
  • This report uses Windows Events collected from machines with Veeam Backup & Replication servers deployed and Events Data collection configured. Remote Event Log Management must also be enabled for this report. For details on Remote Event Log Management, see Firewall Rules.
