I´m using the AZ CLI to configure Backups to my MVs.
I create the following backup policy:
{
"eTag": null,
"id": "/#############",
"location": null,
"name": "DefaultPolicy",
"properties": {
"backupManagementType": "AzureIaasVM",
"instantRpDetails": {
"azureBackupRgNamePrefix": null,
"azureBackupRgNameSuffix": null
},
"instantRpRetentionRangeInDays": 2,
"protectedItemsCount": 1,
"retentionPolicy": {
"dailySchedule": {
"retentionDuration": {
"count": 30,
"durationType": "Days"
},
"retentionTimes": [
"2021-07-30T18:30:00+00:00"
]
},
"monthlySchedule": null,
"retentionPolicyType": "LongTermRetentionPolicy",
"weeklySchedule": null,
"yearlySchedule": null
},
"schedulePolicy": {
"schedulePolicyType": "SimpleSchedulePolicy",
"scheduleRunDays": null,
"scheduleRunFrequency": "Daily",
"scheduleRunTimes": [
"2021-07-30T18:30:00+00:00"
],
"scheduleWeeklyFrequency": 0
},
"timeZone": "UTC"
},
"resourceGroup": "RSGNAME",
"tags": null,
"type": "Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/backupPolicies"
}
but, when I check the current backups available, only see the next 7 days.
$ az backup job list --resource-group $MYGROUP --vault-name $MYVAULT --output table

What is the issue? As you can see, the policy has set in 30 days
As mentioned in the comments, please specify --start-date and --end-date parameters to get the list of backups between those dates.
More information about the parameters can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/backup/job?view=azure-cli-latest#az_backup_job_list.
