Backup for EntraID report

[Erwin Linker]

Hi All,

Is there a easy why to get the user count per job or a overview of license, we want to use the VBR API to get the information. In the API reference i found the following endpoint, /api/v1/license/install. Then i see per microsoft tenant the user count, but this is not connected to a job.

We have a reference in the job name for our sales team for invoicing. I would be perfect if we can use that.

Anybody got a idea?

Regards,
Erwin

Hi Erwin,

Entra ID tenant backup jobs always protect all user accounts. To address your request, we should look for a way to export the latest job status via the API, which may provide information on processed objects. I’ll reach out to our API team to see if they have a solution.

Thank you,
Fabian

Hi @Erwin Linker,

As per Backup for Entra ID User Guide

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Entra ID is licensed by the number of protected Microsoft Entra ID users. Each 10 protected users consume one Veeam Universal License instance from the license scope.

Aligning it with the fact that one Entra ID backup job processes one tenant, you can get users count per protected tenant in a job in the folllowing way:

1. Send GET to /api/v1/license/instances?typeFilter=EntraID as per this reference.
2. Query Entra ID tenants by names from the response.
3. Obtain usedInstancesNumber from the response and multiply it by 10.

Formatted data with the final results could look like this:

"name": "tenant name",
"usedInstancesNumber: 10,
"usersCount": 100

Best regards,
Oleg
