Dashboard Sections

The Dashboard page displays the following sections:

The Protection Status (Flex) section displays the protection status of your workload tenant objects. The protection status is represented as the ratio of protected objects to the total number of objects included in Veeam Data Cloud Flex backup policies. Veeam Data Cloud calculates the total number of objects from the section with the Microsoft services tiles.
The Exchange, SharePoint Sites, Teams and Onedrive tiles section displays the number of Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams and Microsoft OneDrive objects that are protected within scheduled Flex-based backup policies (not manually triggered backup policies) for each service. An object is the smallest unit available for backup. For example, a mailbox, site or OneDrive. An object is considered protected if a restore point was created within the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) defined by the Flex backup policy schedule assigned to this object.

Consider the following:

Only the services you chose to protect when you added the Microsoft 365 tenant to Veeam Data Cloud will be visible in the section.
If the tenant has no completed backup policies, each service tile will display the No backup policy assigned message. Click Assign Policy to go to the Backup Policies page where you can create new backup policies. For more information, see Creating Flex Backup Policies.
If a backup policy is running, the number of protected objects for each service within that backup policy will be 0.
When a backup policy completes successfully, Veeam Data Cloud updates each tile in the section to display the number of protected objects and the progress percentage in each service.
If one object is protected in multiple backup policies, Veeam Data Cloud will count it multiple times in the services tiles.

The License Activity (Flex) section displays daily usage data for Veeam Data Cloud license consumption for Flex-based backups in the tenant, in the last 14, 30 (default) or 90 days.
The Storage Consumption section displays the overall Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 storage consumption across each backup repository within the tenant.

The Recent User Activities section displays information about the latest actions the Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 users took and the date and time of those actions. Click View All Activities for a full overview of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 user activity. For more information, see Activity.
