Viewing backup log

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select Cloud Backup.

  2. In the left-hand panel, click Virtual machines.

  3. Click next to the VM you need and select Open the backup log.

    To open the backup log, you can also hover over the last operation status and follow the link in the pop-up window.

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 the backup log:

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

    yc backup vm list-tasks <VM_ID>
    

    Result:
