Use Case

Backup jobs can be configured from the Veeam Backup & Replication console, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager console, using PowerShell scripts or through REST API. In large environments with multiple backup administrators it is often hard to tell who, when and what changed.

The report helps you review user activity, track job modifications and simplifying troubleshooting.
