Cloned job - audit trail?

[Cragdoo]

Interesting point made by one of the techies in the office. When cloning a job, the cloned job will take the description of the parent job, so it will appear that whoever created the original job also created the cloned job. Is there any way to audit these events, in the event of a query, to avoid finger pointing at the creator of the original job?

The creator should be updated with the name who cloned the job, not with the original user name. Let me quickly check this question with the QA team. This report in Veeam ONE should also allow you to capture these kind of actions: Job Configuration Change Tracking

Thanks Vitaliy, can confirm the cloned job description is identical to the parent job, it would be nice to be able to see/track without having to install an additional product.

Changing the username should be an easy fix, but for full auditing, including jobs and backup components Veeam ONE is still a recommended approach. Thanks!

[Cragdoo]

yeah something like "Cloned by <username> <date>" would suffice for most people

Got it, by the way you should be able to see these events in the Windows Event log with the correct username specified. Search for the event with ID 23010 in the Veeam backup event log. Hope this helps!
