Backup and restore job reports for vaulted backups

This page provides an overview of prebuilt backup and restore job reports, which are available in BigQuery and Looker Studio. These reports are displayed for resources that are protected using backup plans.

You can access these reports after you execute the prebuilt script in the same project where the logs are being routed through the log sink.
