After reinstalling SharePoint Backup, the history of backup sets can no longer be seen within the console's overview.
Typically, a reinstallation of the SharePoint Backup backend (Management Service, Management Console, and repository database) involves recreating a new database, which will no longer contain historically saved data (e.g. backup set history).
The backup sets remain in the configured backup location, but the "metadata" describing them is no longer present in the new repository.
To regain the backup set history, use the Import backup sets function to reassociate the backup set metadata to the new repository database.
A prompt will be displayed indicating the number of backup sets that were successfully imported and they will then be visible in the console's overview.
