Hello,
One of my clients experienced fraudulent activities on their backup server. Jobs were disabled/deleted, some replicas has been deleted. I conducted searches in the logs, but unfortunately it seems that the files have been deleted too in the Veeam Folders.
In the Veeam console, I have gaps in the dates, yet some jobs continued to function during this period (email reports received).
Are the logs in the Veeam console stored in the database or in files?

Re: Some Logs disappeared in VBR Console
Hi Philippe,
It should be in the database. Enterprise Manager can export a high level audit report. But it doesn't contain detailed audit information.
I recommend connecting the backup server to a Veeam One instance to generate an Audit Report. However, it may be best to disconnect the backup server from the network for now and immediately involve a security expert before proceeding with anything on the backup server.
Best,
Fabian

The replicas are not presents for this interval

But the jobs ran during this period, my customer received the notifcation by mail.
How is it possible to delete the logs in the console for this period ?

Re: Some Logs disappeared in VBR Console
For logs, i recommend to review the log retention settings first: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
Make sure to enable <Show all sessions>, then return to the history node and press F5. Change the sort order to Start time and verify the list again.
If some logs are still missing, then I would investigate with our customer support team.
