Hi :
I have 3 VC all update to 6.7 last release..
I backup appliance to NFS server, backup schedule is working fine ( i can see backup folder and files in NFS Server), but in the Appliance Mamagement backup UI , it can't list backup Activity.
Does anyone have the same issue ?

I'm seeing the same behavior. In my other vCenter that is running 6.7 U2b I see backup jobs. Move to the latest vCenter.
Showing the same symptoms with lack of backup activity not being displayed. The suggestion to update to latest version does not work: I am running 6.7.0.40000 Build 14367737.
Any further suggestions to fix this annoying bug?
Did you try to restart following services after upgrade or even restart VCSA VM itself?
applmgmt, vmware-vapi-endpoint,vmware-vsm,vmware-cm,vmware-sca
For each service run: service-control --stop service_name | service-control --start service_name
I have the same issue in 6.7 U3 (build 14367737) of VCSA. Activity logs are blank...
Restarting VCSA does not help.
Anyone find a workaround/fix yet?
Of course. Restarted services individually and multiple restarts of VCSA VM itself. Still no difference. There is obviously an issue here as other users have reported exactly the same problem.
Also does not show any activity even when a manual backup is started using the settings from the scheduled backup.
Please check the backup file location (NFS, FTP or etc), is there any backup files? Doest the backup operation work correctly anyway or not?!
Also, try to open the VAMI management interface from another browser ... is the situation the same as that old browser?
In my lab setup with scp protocol and could see backup activity. I am guessing this is specific to NFS protocol.
What is the NFS version??
It happens to me with SMB and FTP.
The funny thing is, after going to 6.7 U3, in 1 out of like 20ish browser refreshes it DOES display (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Edge, doesn't matter)... I have to keep refreshing to get it to show up. At least that's how it was for a while after installing 6.7 U3. But past few days it is not showing activity any longer at all, which is why I came here.
Backups are being completed (FTP), but not shown in activity. Tried every browser: IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox with same result.
I think it may be a bug about the VAMI backup feature. Please open a support ticket for VMware ...
For the last try, check the result of the backup task operating for all supported types of protocol (FTP, NFS, SMB, .....)
i have the same issue , the vcsa 6.7 , build 13643870 , vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 2a , the backup activity is empty and not showing any logs , btw : the backup completes successfully
I had the same issue, Google led me to this KB from VMware: VMware Knowledge Base which resolved the issue.
This was my exact issue and """"solution"""".
this is the way!
