    Hello Handian, you can absolutely get a daily summary of all your Azure Backup jobs (successes and failures) by using the built-in Backup Reports feature and automating it to email you every day. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Enable diagnostics on your Recovery Services vault(s) • In the Azure portal, go to your Recovery Services vault • Under Settings, choose Diagnostic settings • Add a setting that sends BackupJob and BackupProtection alerts to a Log Analytics workspace
    2. Configure Backup Reports • In the portal, open Backup Center (or Business Continuity Center) • Under Monitoring + Reporting, select Reports to open the Reports gallery • Choose Backup Report
    3. Set up the daily email • In the Backup Reports dashboard, switch to the Email Report tab • Click + Create (or Add Task) • Fill in: – Logic App name, subscription, resource group, region – Log Analytics workspace you’re exporting data from – Tabs to export (e.g., Backup Summary shows job status per day) – Email frequency → select Daily – Recipient address(es) and email subject • Submit and let Azure deploy the Logic App for you
    4. Authorize the Logic App connections • Go to Logic Apps in the portal, find your newly created workflow • Under API Connections, open each connection (Azure Monitor Logs and Office 365) and click Authorize • Once authorized, the Logic App will run on your defined schedule and deliver a daily report showing which backups succeeded or failed

    Optional: If you’d rather have real-time alerts in addition to daily summaries, you can also create Azure Monitor metric or log-based alerts on the built-in backup metrics (for example, “Job failed” events) and route them to email, ITSM tools, etc.

    Hope that helps you get a clear daily snapshot of all your backup jobs!

    Reference list

    • Configure Azure Backup Summary Reports – Email schedules via Logic Apps

    • Configure diagnostics settings for Backup Reports

    • Backup monitoring & alerts overview (metrics & built-in alerts)

    • Backup Reports in the Backup Center portal

    Yes. Daily Azure Backup reports showing success and failure are supported.

    High-level options:

    1. Use Azure Backup Reports (recommended)
      Azure Backup provides built-in reports using Azure Monitor Logs and Azure Workbooks. Steps:
      1. Configure Backup Reports for the Recovery Services vault(s) so backup data is sent to a Log Analytics workspace. Data starts flowing from the day diagnostic settings are configured and is retained according to the workspace retention. In-progress jobs are written only when they complete (success/failure).
      2. In the Azure portal, go to the Recovery Services vault → Backup Reports.
      3. Select the Log Analytics workspace and set filters such as Backup Solution, Subscription Name, Vault Location, and Vault Name as needed.
      4. Use the Backup Job History and related report views to see which jobs succeeded or failed for the selected time range. The reports show jobs that were triggered in the selected time range and exclude the current partial day.
      5. Use the Email Report feature in Backup Reports to configure automated, periodic email delivery (for example, daily) of these reports. This uses Logic Apps; email itself is free, but Log Analytics and Logic Apps are billed per their pricing models.
    2. Monitor specific workloads (for example, MARS agent or Azure Files)
      • For MARS (Azure Backup Agent) backups, open the vault → Backup Reports, set Backup Solution to Azure Backup Agent, and then use the Jobs tab to see backup jobs and their status per day.
      • For Azure Files backups, use the same Backup Reports experience to view item-level jobs and policy details, and then schedule email reports.

    Behavior and conventions to be aware of:

    • Reports show only completed jobs (success/failure), not in-progress ones.
    • The current day is excluded; “Last 7 days” means the last seven completed days.
    • Filters and tiles in the workbook can be used to focus on failed vs successful jobs and specific vaults, regions, or solutions.

    Using these capabilities, a daily report of all Azure Backup jobs and their success/failure status can be generated and emailed automatically.
