Viewing Backup Logs
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 allows you to view and download backup logs with information about your backup jobs 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 Jobs.
- If you have more than one backup job, click the name of the job 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 Jobs 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.
