0:00:03.140000 --> 0:00:10.980000
 Hi. In this video, we're going to take
 a quick look at Azure Backup Reports.

0:00:10.980000 --> 0:00:14.880000
 The topics that we're going to cover
 are a very short two-bullet point

0:00:14.880000 --> 0:00:20.220000
 topic on what backup reports are, how
 you set them up, and then I'm going

0:00:20.220000 --> 0:00:23.380000
 to simply show you backup reports.


0:00:23.380000 --> 0:00:25.400000
 So what are backup reports?

0:00:25.400000 --> 0:00:29.140000
 They are reports that are
 actually in Power BI.

0:00:29.140000 --> 0:00:33.240000
 And one of the things you need to know
 if you're going to use backup reports,

0:00:33.240000 --> 0:00:37.920000
 which are, by the way, if you are studying
 for the AZ-103 certification

0:00:37.920000 --> 0:00:43.440000
 test, they are one of the objective
 details that are part of the exam.

0:00:43.440000 --> 0:00:46.680000
 Might possibly be the reason
 that this video is in there.

0:00:46.680000 --> 0:00:51.380000
 But beyond having Azure, you also actually
 have to have at least the professional

0:00:51.380000 --> 0:00:53.460000
 license for Power BI.

0:00:53.460000 --> 0:00:58.800000
 Now you can get a 60-day trial if you
 want to try this out before making

0:00:58.800000 --> 0:01:06.360000
 the decision to purchase Power BI as part
 of your Azure Diagnostics capability.

0:01:06.360000 --> 0:01:09.600000
 And it's based on standard diagnostic
 settings, and I'm going to go ahead

0:01:09.600000 --> 0:01:15.060000
 and show you how this is set up and
 what you need to do in order to see

0:01:15.060000 --> 0:01:18.640000
 a backup report.

0:01:18.640000 --> 0:01:26.060000
 And so to demonstrate this, not in the
 right place at the moment, go all

0:01:26.060000 --> 0:01:27.200000
 the way back there.

0:01:27.200000 --> 0:01:31.180000
 All right, I have a Recovery Services Vault,
 which hopefully I have configured

0:01:31.180000 --> 0:01:35.560000
 properly. And of course I've
 configured it properly.

0:01:35.560000 --> 0:01:37.580000
 I want to go in and
 just take a look.

0:01:37.580000 --> 0:01:40.120000
 Now the first thing that I need to do,
 the thing you need to know in order

0:01:40.120000 --> 0:01:44.620000
 for this to work, is you need to go
 into the Diagnostic Settings for a

0:01:44.620000 --> 0:01:50.020000
 Recovery Services Vault and you have
 to configure the Recovery Services

0:01:50.020000 --> 0:01:55.320000
 Vault to write its Diagnostic
 Settings to a storage account.

0:01:55.320000 --> 0:01:58.400000
 And that is important that we need
 to make sure that it is writing to

0:01:58.400000 --> 0:01:59.680000
 a storage account.

0:01:59.680000 --> 0:02:04.920000
 And I can see that I've already got
 Diagnostic Settings here, and I've

0:02:04.920000 --> 0:02:09.860000
 got RecubDiag, it's writing to
 a storage account, INE BCTest.

0:02:09.860000 --> 0:02:13.680000
 And if I look at the Settings, what
 is important, because I want to view

0:02:13.680000 --> 0:02:18.700000
 Azure Backup Reports, I'm actually
 going ahead and saving Azure Backup

0:02:18.700000 --> 0:02:24.360000
 Reports, and I have other data
 that I can save as well.

0:02:24.360000 --> 0:02:26.040000
 So that's pretty cool.

0:02:26.040000 --> 0:02:30.680000
 Now what I want to do is take a look at
 how I would go to the Backup Reports.

0:02:30.680000 --> 0:02:33.600000
 And it looks really promising when
 I'm in the portal, because there's

0:02:33.600000 --> 0:02:37.120000
 this line here for Backup Reports,
 and that's pretty awesome.

0:02:37.120000 --> 0:02:41.500000
 And I click on that and it says, okay,
 you actually need to use Power

0:02:41.500000 --> 0:02:46.140000
 BI to do this. And I can go and set
 the Diagnostic Settings that need

0:02:46.140000 --> 0:02:52.380000
 to write to a storage account, and
 then I go into Power BI, and I set

0:02:52.380000 --> 0:02:57.700000
 that up. Now, I've already got Power
 BI, I've got, in fact, the ProTrial,

0:02:57.700000 --> 0:03:02.800000
 which I started entirely possible right
 before I started recording this.

0:03:02.800000 --> 0:03:06.780000
 I have my own copy elsewhere, although
 it would be fun to try this out

0:03:06.780000 --> 0:03:13.540000
 from scratch. Now I have installed
 the Azure Backup app for Power BI,

0:03:13.540000 --> 0:03:20.340000
 and really all that is is coming in
 here and going to apps and searching

0:03:20.340000 --> 0:03:26.240000
 Azure, and there's Azure Backup,
 as well as other things.

0:03:26.240000 --> 0:03:29.140000
 So really I just went through that
 process of installing this.

0:03:29.140000 --> 0:03:42.520000
 Now what I'm going to do is go in and
 I want to connect this to a storage

0:03:42.520000 --> 0:03:53.120000
 account. Next, all right, now the authentication
 method, I'm actually

0:03:53.120000 --> 0:03:58.180000
 going to set this up with key-based
 authentication, and I am going to

0:03:58.180000 --> 0:04:08.800000
 need the account key, but that's okay,
 because I can go over to the iNeBC

0:04:08.800000 --> 0:04:11.960000
 demo, or, oh, iNeBC test,
 I think I said demo.

0:04:11.960000 --> 0:04:14.100000
 Now I might have said test.

0:04:14.100000 --> 0:04:15.400000
 We'll double-check that.

0:04:15.400000 --> 0:04:20.780000
 Go to access keys, and I am going
 to grab one of the keys.

0:04:20.780000 --> 0:04:24.300000
 Oh, good, I did say iNeBC test.

0:04:24.300000 --> 0:04:30.100000
 Put that in with the account key, and
 privacy level setting for this.

0:04:30.100000 --> 0:04:35.420000
 I want this to be a private data source,
 and go ahead and sign into that

0:04:35.420000 --> 0:04:47.920000
 data source. All right,
 and see if it comes up.

0:04:47.920000 --> 0:04:54.480000
 There we go. Now I have
 my Azure Backup reports.

0:04:54.480000 --> 0:04:56.100000
 That was pretty exciting.

0:04:56.100000 --> 0:05:01.840000
 I've got BC demos, I've got a backup
 of that, which is the virtual machine

0:05:01.840000 --> 0:05:05.700000
 there, which is an 11 gig backup.

0:05:05.700000 --> 0:05:09.860000
 I can see I also have some file
 and folder backup on that.

0:05:09.860000 --> 0:05:13.940000
 I've got four items backed
 up, and I can drill down.

0:05:13.940000 --> 0:05:18.140000
 The drill down, honestly, is not amazing,
 but I have some other things,

0:05:18.140000 --> 0:05:26.160000
 for example, I can view storage, and
 I can see how my storage is kind

0:05:26.160000 --> 0:05:31.940000
 of going there. BC demos dot, by the
 way, is the actual file and folder.

0:05:31.940000 --> 0:05:34.780000
 That's the way the file
 and folder comes across.

0:05:34.780000 --> 0:05:39.680000
 You can see, frankly, just a number
 of different data points.

0:05:39.680000 --> 0:05:43.280000
 This is probably the most useful.

0:05:43.280000 --> 0:05:46.940000
 Now I can see, for example,
 I've done a backup.

0:05:46.940000 --> 0:05:50.460000
 That's actually showing up now
 of another virtual machine.

0:05:50.460000 --> 0:05:51.640000
 Look at a couple different
 backups.

0:05:51.640000 --> 0:05:53.840000
 A couple done yesterday,
 one done today.

0:05:53.840000 --> 0:05:59.500000
 You can see the time, and the actual
 full backup, for example, took 56

0:05:59.500000 --> 0:06:04.240000
 minutes. These are both file and folder
 backups, and they took significantly

0:06:04.240000 --> 0:06:08.920000
 less time. There are no backup items
 with no successful backups, which

0:06:08.920000 --> 0:06:15.500000
 is great. I can see when I've
 done most of my backups.

0:06:15.500000 --> 0:06:21.360000
 I can go to Job Health, view
 that, jobs created in period.

0:06:21.360000 --> 0:06:24.280000
 I don't have really any jobs here.


0:06:24.280000 --> 0:06:27.300000
 No job failures, et cetera.

0:06:27.300000 --> 0:06:32.220000
 Any of you job duration,
 which I already saw.

0:06:32.220000 --> 0:06:39.240000
 If I have any alerts, I really
 don't have any alerts going.

0:06:39.240000 --> 0:06:41.880000
 That is looking pretty good.

0:06:41.880000 --> 0:06:43.920000
 I'm actually not viewing
 sample data.

0:06:43.920000 --> 0:06:44.940000
 I can kind of kill that.

0:06:44.940000 --> 0:06:46.920000
 You can also filter the data.

0:06:46.920000 --> 0:06:51.800000
 I can go across and keep all
 filters and drill through.

0:06:51.800000 --> 0:06:56.360000
 Let's see here, if
 I can go back out.

0:06:56.360000 --> 0:06:59.900000
 Don't use this all the time.

0:06:59.900000 --> 0:07:02.100000
 This is cheap. Go back there.

0:07:02.100000 --> 0:07:05.400000
 There we go. That is
 a backup report.

0:07:05.400000 --> 0:07:08.780000
 Again, what's key with the backup report
 is not that you're getting a

0:07:08.780000 --> 0:07:11.320000
 backup report. That is useful.

0:07:11.320000 --> 0:07:16.300000
 The things you need to keep in mind
 are that, first of all, you need to

0:07:16.300000 --> 0:07:21.960000
 set your diagnostics for your recovery
 services vault so that they are

0:07:21.960000 --> 0:07:24.160000
 going to write to
 a storage account.

0:07:24.160000 --> 0:07:26.360000
 Then you need to go into Power BI.


0:07:26.360000 --> 0:07:29.920000
 You need a Power BI professional
 subscription.

0:07:29.920000 --> 0:07:35.820000
 You need to go in and add the Azure
 backup application to your Power BI.

0:07:35.820000 --> 0:07:40.840000
 Then go into that and configure it
 to pull the data from that storage

0:07:40.840000 --> 0:07:44.660000
 account that you'd set up in
 your recovery services vault.
