Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select Compute Cloud.
  2. In the left-hand panel, click Virtual machines.

In the Cloud Backup column, you will see the statuses of Cloud Backup's connection to the VM.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command to view a list of VMs connected to Cloud Backup:

    yc backup vm list compute --help
    
  2. Run this command:

    yc backup vm list compute
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+-------------+--------+---------+--------+-----------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+---------------------+---------------------+---------+
    |     INSTANCE ID      | RESOURCE ID | ONLINE | ENABLED | STATUS | STATUS PROGRESS |   STATUS DETAILS    |  LAST BACKUP TIME   |  NEXT BACKUP TIME   | ACTIVE |     CREATED AT      |     UPDATED AT      |  TYPE   |
    +----------------------+-------------+--------+---------+--------+-----------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+---------------------+---------------------+---------+
    | epdrmd2rpo6s******** | d0a6...1281 | true   | true    | OTHER  |               0 | no_policies_applied |                     |                     | true   | 2025-03-05 07:13:24 | 2025-03-05 07:13:24 | COMPUTE |
    | epd5fs8ojqhg******** | 68b1...2a82 | true   | true    | IDLE   |               0 |                     | 2025-03-05 07:05:10 | 2025-03-05 07:05:10 | true   | 2025-03-05 05:20:11 | 2025-03-05 07:05:22 | COMPUTE |
    +----------------------+-------------+--------+---------+--------+-----------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+---------------------+---------------------+---------+
    

    In the STATUS column, you will see the VM connection status.

    To view the connection status of a specific VM, run this command:

    yc backup vm get <VM_ID>
    

    Result:

    compute_instance_id: epd5fs8ojqhg********
    created_at: "2025-03-05T05:20:11.391904178Z"
    updated_at: "2025-03-05T07:05:22.528557095Z"
    online: true
    enabled: true
    status: IDLE
    last_backup_time: "2025-03-05T07:05:10Z"
    next_backup_time: "2025-03-05T08:00:00Z"
    resource_id: 68b1e3f7-a855-45c7-8daf-13c8********
    is_active: true
    init_status: REGISTRED
    metadata: "null"
    type: COMPUTE
    

To view the connection statuses of all VMs, use the list REST API method for the Resource resource or the ResourceService/List gRPC API call.

To view the connection statuses of a specific VM, use the get REST API method for the Resource resource or the ResourceService/Get gRPC API call.
