Backup and archive jobs provide detailed information about both the job itself and the data they store. You can view field-level details of backed-up objects, as well as job-specific information, including statistics on backed-up records, metadata components, and transaction logs. This article explains how to access job details and outlines the available information, helping you gain insight into the backup process and verify the integrity of your data.
