Azure Backup Reports use Azure Workbooks to visualize historical backup data. This visualization requires the Recovery Services vault logs to be sent to a Log Analytics workspace.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Navigate to the Recovery Services vault in the Azure portal and open Diagnostic settings.
You access the logs configuration page.
This is where log forwarding is configured for Azure resources.
2
Add a diagnostic setting, select the core backup log categories, and select a Log Analytics workspace as the destination.
Diagnostic data starts streaming to the workspace.
Azure Backup Reports require data to be centralized in a Log Analytics workspace for visualization.

Key Concept

Azure Backup Reports require routing diagnostic logs from the Recovery Services vault to a Log Analytics workspace.
