History

Overview

History and audit help users track backup job runs and review important actions performed on the Backup Instance by Veeam service.

In the Unify Portal, this group includes two parts:

• Job History: view backup job run history, including manual and scheduled runs.
• Activity Log: look up audit logs of operations that change data or state.

Prerequisites

• The tenant has Backup Instance by Veeam service activated.
• The user is logged in to the Unify Portal.
• The user has permission to view the corresponding history or audit log.
• History data is within the VPC or resource scope the user is allowed to access.

Job History

Purpose

View backup job run history in the current VPC, including manual runs from Start Manual Backup Job and automatic runs from Auto Scheduled Backup Job.

Steps

1. Open the Job History screen on the Unify Portal.
2. Review the job run history list.
3. Use the filter to filter by status if needed.
4. Use the search by Job Name if needed.
5. Navigate between pages if the list is long.

Main displayed fields

Field	Meaning
Object Name	Name of the related object or job
Type	Type of history record
Start Time	Time the job started
End Time	Time the job ended
Status	Result or status of the run

Common filters

Filter	Meaning
Status	Filter by Success, Working, Fail, or Mounted
Keyword	Search by Job Name

Notes

• If the list has no data, the portal may show "No job history found".
• Version 1.5 does not support viewing the details of a Job History record.
• Version 1.5 does not support downloading or exporting Job History.
• If you cannot find the record you expect, check the status filter, keyword, and the current VPC.

Activity Log

Purpose

Activity Log audits operations that change data or state on the portal. It is a shared portal logging mechanism, not a backup-specific screen.

Backup operations that typically generate activity logs

Operation group	Example
Backup Job	Create, update, delete, enable, disable backup job
Manual/Scheduled Run	Start manual backup job, scheduled job runs
Restore Point	Empty restore point or other side-effect restore point operations
Restore	Restore, Restore Keep, Instant Recovery if the system records them per audit standard

Common fields in activity log

Field	Meaning
Time	When the log was generated
Actor	The user or system that performed the operation
Action	The action performed
Resource	The affected resource
Status	The result of the operation
Error	Normalized error information when the operation fails

How to use

1. Open the Activity Log screen or audit log area on the Unify Portal if you have access.
2. Filter by time, actor, action, or resource if the portal supports it.
3. Open the record to inspect.
4. Cross-check the log status with Job History or the current resource status if needed.

Notes

• Activity Log does not replace Job History.
• Job History is used to view backup job run results.
• Activity Log is used to audit who did what and when.
• For asynchronous operations, the log may contain multiple checkpoints such as request accepted and completion result.
• Read-only operations may not always have an activity log, depending on the portal audit policy.

Job History vs Activity Log

Aspect	Job History	Activity Log
Purpose	Track backup job runs	Audit operations on the portal
Main data	Object name, type, start time, end time, status	Actor, action, resource, status
Triggered by system	Yes, for scheduled runs	Sometimes, depending on the action
Used to	Verify job success or failure	Trace who did what, and when

Common errors

Situation	Resolution
Cannot see job history	Check the current VPC, keyword, status filter, and Job History view permission
Cannot see the most recent run	Wait for data sync or refresh the screen
Filter returns no data	Remove some status filters or keywords
Cannot see activity log of an operation	Check audit log permission and portal logging policy
History status and activity log status differ	Compare update times; async operations may log multiple states along the way
