A common requirement for backup admins is to obtain insights on backups, based on data spanning a long period of time. There could be multiple use cases for such a solution - allocating and forecasting of cloud storage consumed, auditing of backups and restores, and identifying key trends at different levels of granularity.

By default, the data in an LA Workspace is retained for 30 days. To see data for a longer time horizon, change the retention period of the LA Workspace. To change the retention period, refer to the following article: [Manage usage and costs with Azure Monitor Logs](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/platform/manage-cost-storage).

1.**Summary** - The Summary tab provides a high-level overview of your backup estate. Under the Summary tab, you can get a quick glance of the total number of backup items, total cloud storage consumed, the number of protected instances and the job success rate per workload type. For more detailed information around a specific backup artifact type, navigate to the respective tabs.

For more detailed information around a specific backup artifact type, navigate to the respective tabs.
2.**Backup Items** - The Backup Items tab allows you to see information and trends on cloud storage consumed at a Backup Item level. For example, if you are using SQL in Azure VM backup, you can see the cloud storage consumed for each SQL database being backed up. You can also choose to see data for backup items of a particular protection status. For example, clicking on the **Protection Stopped** tile at the top of the tab, filters all the below widgets to show data only for Backup Items in Protection Stopped state.

3.**Usage** - The Usage tab helps you view key billing parameters for your backups. The information shown in this tab is at a billing entity (protected container) level. For example, in the case of a DPM server being backed up to Azure, you can view the trend of protected instances and cloud storage consumed for the DPM server. Similarly, if you are using SQL in Azure Backup or SAP HANA in Azure Backup, this tab gives you usage-related information at the level of the virtual machine that these databases are contained in.

You can view this information at both an aggregate level and at a backup item level. Clicking on a particular backup item in a grid lets you view detailed information on each job that was triggered on that backup item in the selected time range.
