[Dashboards](https://help.bocada.com/knowledge/dashboards?hsLang=en) # How do I know if all of my resources are backed up? ## Learn more about Protected and Unprotected Resources in the Resource Audit report Bocada Cloud can provide an audit of all resources and endpoints that exist in your environment and display which are backed up (protected) and which are not being backed up (unprotected).  The *Resource Audit* report shows you how many resources and endpoints were identified within the inventory sources you connect to Bocada Cloud, and compares that to the backups performed by the connected backup application(s). This analysis is presented in the *Resource Audit* Dashboard widget which links to the *Resource Audit* report.   **Note**: Only customers who have subscribed to the [Pro](https://help.bocada.com/knowledge/pro-subscription-plan?hsLang=en) or [Ultimate](https://help.bocada.com/knowledge/ultimate-subscription-plan?hsLang=en) subscription plans can access unprotected resource audit reporting. Customers on the [Standard](https://help.bocada.com/knowledge/standard-subscription-plan?hsLang=en) plan, or those who have not connected an inventory source, will only see Protected resources - a list of resources with backups.  ### **Protected Resources** The first tab of the *Resource Audit* report features a list of **Protected Resources.**  1 - **If you have *not* connected an [inventory source](https://8890471.hubspotpreview-na1.com/knowledge/inventory-source)** to Bocada Cloud, it will display the resources and endpoints collected through the connections to your backup applications. Therefore, it will only display resources and endpoints with backup activity.  2 - **If you *have* connected an [inventory source](https://8890471.hubspotpreview-na1.com/knowledge/inventory-source)** to Bocada Cloud**,** the report will display inventory resources that are protected by connected backup applications. It also displays resources backed up by connected backup application(s) that may not be in an inventory source.  ### **Unprotected Resource Auditing** Unprotected resource auditing helps you identify what systems need to have a backup policy, or the existing policy corrected. It starts with [connecting an inventory source](https://help.bocada.com/knowledge/inventory-source?hsLang=en).  Once connected, Bocada compares all resources in your inventory against backups completed in the previous 31 days to determine if all inventory resources are protected. If no backups are detected for any inventory resource during the past 31 days, they are considered unprotected and display on the *Unprotected Resources* tab of the *Resource Audit* Report.  *Note*: The default data range for analysis of backup activity is 31 days, but you can edit criteria to see a different date range.  #### **Ignore Resources** The *Resource Audit* report also gives you the ability to select one or more unprotected resources to "ignore" and move to the *Ignored Resources* tab. For example, if a resource is a development or test machine that doesn't need to be protected, it can be ignored. When a resource is ignored, the user has an option to add a reason why it was ignored. That reason is viewable on the *Ignored Resources* tab*.* You can also choose to click the eye icon next to an ignored resource ("Watch Resource") to un-ignore it  #### **All Resources** This is a comprehensive list which includes all protected, unprotected, and ignored inventory resources, as well as backup resources not found in inventory sources. ### **Supported Inventory Sources** Bocada Cloud supports the following [inventory sources](https://help.bocada.com/knowledge/inventory-source?hsLang=en) - Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vCenter, multiple CMDB sources, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft SQL and Oracle Cloud.  Inventory resources without backups (e.g. unprotected resources) are not billed or charged in the monthly Bocada Cloud subscription. Do you have a particular inventory source you'd like us to add support for next?
