Answer

To configure Azure Backup Reports using resource-specific settings, you must enable the AddonAzureBackupJobs and AddonAzureBackupPolicy log categories.
Azure Backup Reports require specific diagnostic logs from the Recovery Services vault to populate the reporting tables. When using the Resource-specific schema, the AddonAzureBackupJobs category is needed to monitor backup job executions, and the AddonAzureBackupPolicy category is needed to monitor policy details.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
In the Azure portal, navigate to the Recovery Services vault and open Diagnostic settings.
You can view existing settings or add a new one.
Vault data must be sent to a destination to be available for reporting.
2
Add a diagnostic setting, choose a Log Analytics workspace, and select Resource-specific.
The destination is configured for resource-specific tables.
Resource-specific mode is recommended for Azure Backup Reports.
3
Select the checkboxes for AddonAzureBackupJobs and AddonAzureBackupPolicy.
The specified logs are configured to stream to the workspace.
These categories provide the necessary telemetry for jobs and policies in the Backup Reports workbook.
