Use BackupVision360

Everyday BackupVision360 - check that backups ran, request a restore, approve someone else's restore as the second person, and read the compliance reports.

Updated 30 October 2026

Online version, always current: https://cloudvision360.com/docs/guides/use-backupvision360/

Every restore needs two people: the one who asks and a second person who approves. That’s what stops a stolen account from quietly downloading or overwriting your data.

Check your backups

Home shows protected items, backup success over 7 days, RPO compliance and immutability coverage, plus what needs your attention (restores waiting for you, failed backups, changes waiting for approval).

BackupVision360 Home: protected items, backup success, RPO compliance and Needs your attention

Protect → Activity lists every backup, restore and key job with its result, start time, items and what started it. A failed job opens to the reason.

Activity: backup and restore jobs with their result and timing

Request a restore

  1. Open Restore → Restore points. Search for the person, mailbox, laptop or server under Items; its restore points are listed with the newest first.

    Restore points: items on the left, their restore points on the right

  2. Choose Restore… on the point you want.

  3. Choose where it goes under Restore to:

    • Verify only (dry run): checks everything can be restored, writes nothing.
    • Download link: a ZIP you download; the link works for 24 hours.
    • Export to a restore bucket: a ZIP written to another of your storage targets.
    • Back to the original place: overwrites what’s there now; needs an approver with elevated rights.

  4. Under What to restore, keep Everything or tick only some folders, and give a Reason (for example a ticket number).

  5. Submit and confirm with your authenticator.

    Restore HOST-001: restore to, what to restore and the reason

The request waits under Restore → Restore requests until a second person approves it. It expires after 24 hours if nobody does.

Approve a restore

People with the restore_approver role (or owner and admin) approve restores they didn’t ask for themselves.

  1. Open Restore → Restore requests. Waiting for you lists what needs your decision.
  2. Check what is being restored, where it goes, who asked and the Reason.
  3. Choose Approve and confirm with your authenticator, or Reject. The restore runs as soon as it’s approved, and the requester can follow it under Activity.

Restore requests waiting for approval, with Approve and Reject

Destructive changes, such as deleting a restore point or shortening retention, wait for a second person in the same list (Approve change). More in Restores and approvals and Destructive change protection.

Read the reports

Open Reports → Compliance for evidence auditors ask for: backup success, RPO compliance, immutability, the last passed DR drill, and backup success by policy. Choose the period (30 days, 90 days, 1 year); Evidence pack (print / PDF) produces the document to hand over, and CSV exports the table.

Reports → Usage & plan shows what counts toward your plan.
