To get started with centralized reporting, you can create a report plan using AWS Backup Audit Manager from your AWS Organization’s management account. Report plans allow you to generate periodic reports for your backup, copy, and restore activities as well as resource and controls compliance. You can specify the AWS accounts, organizational units (OUs), and Regions from which you want to aggregate data and customize your report delivery preferences in the report plan.
