Difficulty: MediumAzure Backup Reports and Monitoring

You are configuring diagnostic settings for a Recovery Services vault to enable Azure Backup Reports using a Log Analytics workspace. You select the resource-specific destination table option. You need to ensure the reports can display historical data for backup job status and backup storage utilization. Which set of diagnostic log categories must you select?

  1. CoreBackup, AddonBackupJobs, and AddonBackupStorageAnswer
  2. B
    CoreBackup, AzureActivity, and StorageBlobLogs
  3. C
    AzureDiagnostics, AzureMetrics, and CoreBackup
  4. D
    AddonBackupAlerts, AddonBackupPolicy, and AzureMetrics

Answer

CoreBackup, AddonBackupJobs, and AddonBackupStorage
To enable Azure Backup Reports in a Log Analytics workspace using resource-specific tables, you must select the appropriate log categories. CoreBackup contains basic metadata about vaults, backup items, and policies. AddonBackupJobs provides status and tracking details for backup jobs. AddonBackupStorage contains details on storage usage and data footprint. Together, these three categories populate the backup job status and storage utilization reports.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the destination schema mode chosen for the diagnostic settings.
The scenario specifies the resource-specific option, meaning logs will be routed to dedicated tables instead of the legacy AzureDiagnostics table.
Resource-specific mode routes categories to individual tables rather than a unified legacy table, which determines how log categories map to destinations.
2
Determine the reporting requirements requested in the scenario.
The requirements are to display historical data for backup job status and backup storage utilization.
This helps filter out unrelated log categories like alerts, policies, or standard tenant/subscription-level activity logs.
3
Match the required reports to the corresponding resource-specific diagnostic log categories.
CoreBackup contains the vault and item metadata. AddonBackupJobs contains job status logs. AddonBackupStorage contains storage usage logs.
Enabling these three categories ensures the workspace receives all the data fields necessary to populate both the job history and storage usage components of Azure Backup Reports.
