Viewing the backup log

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder where Cloud Backup is connected.

  2. Go to Cloud Backup.

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

  4. 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 yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  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:

Use the listTasks REST API method for the Resource resource or the ResourceService/ListTasks gRPC API call.
