Backup vault consumption reports for vaulted backups

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

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

  • backup_vault_stored_bytes_in_gib: The amount of storage space consumed by backups in GiB in a backup vault.
  • backup_vault_minimum_enforced_retention_days: The minimum timeframe in days that backups in that vault are being protected from deletion.
  • backup_plan_name: The name of the backup plan that is associated with the resource.
