Azure backup job details not updating

Question

Hi

I'm just trialling Azure backup for some on prem server files/folders which is running okay, but have 2 issues that I can't seem to resolve.

The first is that for each completed backup job, when I look at the details for each one they all show the RestoreRecoveryPointTime
as 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM

The second is that I can't see how much storage I'm using on Azure for the backup jobs

Any help appreciated

@Steve J , Apologies for delay in getting back on this!

1. The job details page (Microsoft_Azure_RecoveryServices > CMJobDrillDownBlade) uses the "Job Details –
   Get" API to fetch data. The date you are seeing is the ANSI date start time and is likely a null date value being returned that way by the API because the "RestoreRecoveryPointTime" value is not applicable to a backup job. It will be populated with the RP timestamp for a restore. If this has affected you in anyways, we can get this investigated by the concerned team to see if they can avoid showing this confusing data.
2. Currently we do not offer this functionality to know total storage being used by backed up items within the vault. There is a feedback item created on this request. I recommend you up vote it and leave a comment describing the importance of this feature your business. However, you can leverage log analytics to find cloud storage consumed for each backup item. I have answered this query here.
