## Use Case

As data can be restored from the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 console, using PowerShell scripts or through REST API, in large environments with multiple backup administrators it is often hard to track all performed restore actions.

This report helps you track the initiator of each restore attempt, asses the most regularly restored objects and establish historical trends.
