Overview

Veeam Backup & Replication logs operational events generated by the Veeam data protection platform during backup, replication, and recovery tasks for virtual machines,  physical servers, and workloads. These logs typically contain details about backup job execution, task status, restore point creation or modification, repository usage, data transfer metrics, and system metadata such as job identifiers, VM names, hostnames, timestamps, and Veeam server versions.

Supported data types

Veeam Backup and Replication Logs

Table name: veeam_backup_and_replication_logs

The logs are commonly exported in syslog  (RFC5424) format or collected from the Windows Event Log on the Veeam Backup Server. Each event includes structured key-value fields (e.g., job IDs, repository IDs, VM identifiers, status codes, storage size, and platform information) along with a descriptive message explaining the activity. Event identifiers (such as task completion, restore point creation, or restore point updates) help track backup lifecycle operations and system health. These logs are useful for monitoring backup operations, troubleshooting job failures, auditing backup activity, and integrating with SIEM platforms to generate alerts on abnormal conditions such as failed backup tasks, corrupted restore points, or unexpected changes to backup data.
