Description

The NinjaOne SaaS Backup dashboards enable you to view and manage your SaaS backups from a central location. You can view NinjaOne SaaS Backup information from two levels: the global level, for an overview of all organizations, or from the organization level, for a more detailed view of each account in an organization. Each dashboard presents a detailed table of information that you can sort and filter, and links directly to relevant sections of the NinjaOne SaaS Backup portals, providing seamless integration with no additional logins.
