Backup status of all jobs

Post by phillip_from_oz »

Case #05078771

I need a daily report with the status of all backup jobs including copies.
All the information we are backing up are VMs under VMWare.
Just about all VMs do not have backup agents.
I'm using backup agents for SQL server DB backups.

I have seen this forum reference:
reporting-f6/daily-report-from-all-back ... 65307.html

However I want all backup status irrespective if the backup came from a backup agent or not.
Also I cannot find "Agent Backup Job and Policy History report" in Veeam One

I have used:
Veeam One - "Latest Backup Job Status" under "Veeam Backup Monitoring"
but it only shows the "Top 10" jobs not all jobs

Is there a way of extending the report for all jobs?
Is there another report I can use?

Can you please tell me the comprehensive way of getting to the report as I'm just
starting out with Veeam and the Navigation panel is not the most helpful.

Try the Backup Infrastructure Custom Data report.
With this report, you can choose which properties you want to have on the report. Choose as a type „Job“ and you can create a report with each jobs last status.
Agents and VMs will be included.
Let us know, if that would be a solution for your requirements :)

Object type: Job
Properties: Job Name, Platform, Last Run Status, Last Run Start Time, Failure Message

Example from the guide:

Thanks.

I've only very recently joined the organisation that is using Veeam.

Looks like the sort of report I'm after.

Another forum article suggested to try the report "Agent Backup Job and Policy History report".
However I cannot find this report - can you give me navigation instructions to get to this report?

I'm surprised that in "Backup Infrastructure Custom Data" report some of the Last Run Start Time
was back in May for some jobs - I'll need to investigate why this is the case.

For those interested and if you cannot find this report try this:
Run Veeam One
Pick Workplace Tab
Custom Reports -> Backup Infrastructure Custom Data
Pick these columns Job Name,Last Run Status, Last Run Backup VMs Count, Last Run Start Time

Your welcome.

Are you talking about this report?
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/r ... ml?ver=110

You can find it under:
All Templates > Veeam Backup Agents > Agent Backup Job and Policy History

If you don't see Agent Reports there, then it's possible that you don't see agents in your veeam one installation, because your licensing doesn't allow monitoring on agents.

In the navigation panel for Workplace I don't have an "All Templates" selection.

I simply have "All Folders", "User Reports", "All Deployment Projects".

I do not have "All Templates" in "All Folders" either.

Do I need to do something special to enable "All Templates" ?

It should be on this page in the veeam One webclient.
You need to switch from Saved Reports to Report Templates.
What is your Veeam One Version? I think, that you are not on the most recent version. If you have Workspace on the veeam One website, you must have 9.5 or 10.0.
Veeam One V11 does not have workspace anymore.

Thanks.

I'm on Veeam One version 9.5.

I'll find out if I can upgrade Veeam One without upgrading Veeam itself!

Yes, you can upgrade to Veeam One V11.

Veeam One V11 can work with the following VBR server:
Veeam Backup & Replication 11 or later
Veeam Backup & Replication 10 or later
Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 (update 4 or later)
For some reports to work, VBR must be updated too.
