Viewing Backup Logs
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 allows you to view and download backup logs with information about your backup policies status, log messages and timestamps.
NOTE |
When checking your backup logs you may see a similar warning: Processing site <Name> (<SharePoint Address>) finished with warning: Failed to backup item: <Item that could not be backed up>, Item may have a virus reported by the virus scanner plug-in. Microsoft has its own virus scanner for files that are uploaded to SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams and has determined that the file in question contains a virus. To learn more about the Microsoft virus scanner, see this Microsoft article. |
To view backup logs, do the following:
- In the main menu, click Backup Policies.
- If you have more than one backup policy, click the name of the policy under the Name field in the table.
Veeam Data Cloud will display the list of backup sessions in the Backup Sessions section of the Backup Policies page. Backup sessions will be listed in descending order from the most recent to the oldest.
- Click the View logs button with an eye symbol in the Actions column next to the backup session whose logs you want to view. The Session logs drawer will appear on the right side of the screen.
Tip |
You can also download session logs to your computer. To do this, click the Download logs button in the Actions column. Veeam Data Cloud will export the logs to a .CSV file. |
- In the Session logs box, you can select which statuses you want to see by clicking on the All statuses drop-down menu. You can select to see Running, Success, Warning, or Error messages only.
You can also filter session log records based on the text of a session log message. To do this, enter the text you want to find in the session log and press [Enter].
- To choose whether to see logs in local time or UTC, toggle the Local time switch.
- If you want to see timestamps on the logs, select the Show timestamps check box.
- If you want to create a local copy of the logs, you can export the logs to a .CSV file. To do this, click Export to CSV.
