Failures
The Failures report provides a summary and list of objects that had one or more backup run failures. It also helps you identify consecutive failures in the last three backups, and breaks down the failed objects by object type. A failure refers to a completed backup run that ended with a failed status. Data is aggregated from Backup and Recovery service instances in the selected region.
The Failures report reflects data for the selected region only.
Example use case: Which object do I have no successful backup of in the last week?
