Logs and Data Restoration
The Backup Logs tab serves as the historical record for your account. It lists every job attempted, its timestamp, and its final status.
Always check the Status column to verify that jobs are marked as Successful. Because this is a collaborative environment you will see logs generated by all users in your team, which helps prevent redundant backup tasks.
