--- title: Support matrix for Backup center for Azure Backup description: This article summarizes the scenarios that Backup center supports for each workload type ms.topic: reference ms.date: 09/24/2024 ms.service: azure-backup author: AbhishekMallick-MS ms.author: v-mallicka ms.custom: engagement-fy24 # Customer intent: As an IT administrator, I want to understand the supported scenarios and limitations of the Backup Center for various workloads so that I can effectively monitor, govern, and manage backup configurations in my cloud environment. --- # Support matrix for Backup center [!INCLUDE [backup-center-deprecation.md ](../../includes/backup-center-deprecation.md )] This article summarizes the scenarios that Backup center supports for each workload type. Backup center helps enterprises to [govern, monitor, operate, and analyze backups at scale](backup-center-overview.md). ## Supported scenarios The following table lists all supported scenarios: | **Category** | **Scenario** | **Supported workloads** | **Limits** | | -------------| ------------- | ----------------------- |------------| | Monitoring | View all backup jobs | Azure Virtual Machine <br><br> Azure Database for PostgreSQL server <br><br> SQL in Azure VM <br><br> SAP High-Performance Analytic Appliance (HANA) in Azure VM <br><br> Azure Files<br/><br/> Azure Blobs<br/><br/> Azure Managed Disks | Seven days worth of jobs available out of the box. <br> <br> Each filter/drop-down supports a maximum of 1000 items. So, Backup center can be used to monitor a maximum of 1000 subscriptions and 1000 vaults across tenants. | | Monitoring | View all site recovery jobs | Azure to Azure disaster recovery <br><br> VMware and Physical to Azure disaster recovery | Same as previous | | Monitoring | View all backup instances | Azure Virtual Machine <br><br> Azure Database for PostgreSQL server <br><br> SQL in Azure VM <br><br> SAP HANA in Azure VM <br><br> Azure Files<br/><br/> Azure Blobs<br/><br/> Azure Managed Disks | Same as previous | | Monitoring | View all replicated items | Azure to Azure disaster recovery <br><br> VMware and physical to Azure disaster recovery | Same as previous | | Monitoring | View all backup policies | Azure Virtual Machine <br><br> Azure Database for PostgreSQL server <br><br> SQL in Azure VM <br><br> SAP HANA in Azure VM <br><br> Azure Files<br/><br/> Azure Blobs<br/><br/> Azure Managed Disks | Same as previous | | Monitoring | View all vaults | Azure Virtual Machine <br><br> Azure Database for PostgreSQL server <br><br> SQL in Azure VM <br><br> SAP HANA in Azure VM <br><br> Azure Files<br/><br/> Azure Blobs<br/><br/> Azure Managed Disks | Same as previous | | Monitoring | View Azure Monitor alerts at scale | Azure Virtual Machine <br><br> Azure Database for PostgreSQL server <br><br> SQL in Azure VM <br><br> SAP HANA in Azure VM <br><br> Azure Files<br/><br/> Azure Blobs<br/><br/> Azure Managed Disks | Refer [Alerts](./monitoring-and-alerts-overview.md#azure-monitor-alerts-for-azure-backup) documentation | | Monitoring | View Azure Backup metrics and write metric alert rules | Azure VM <br><br>SQL in Azure VM <br><br> SAP HANA in Azure VM<br><br>Azure Files <br><br>Azure Blobs | You can view metrics for all Recovery Services vaults for a region and subscription simultaneously.
