⚠️ Problem

The Configure Managed Exports documentation states: "To backfill historical data, you must run the config_RunBackfillJob pipeline for each month."

Backfilling multiple months (or years) of data can be tedious. If this is supported using the Azure Cost Management (ACM) Managed Export that is created by the FinOps Toolkit, it is not mentioned in the documentation.

🛠️ Solution

Update the documentation to provide guidance on backfilling multiple months of data at a time, versus requiring running the config_RunBackfillJob pipeline for each month.

ℹ️ Additional context

I recall it was mentioned/demonstrated that the Azure Cost Management (ACM) Managed Export could be used for this purpose. However, it is unclear how to do so. We manually ran the Export selected dates trigger for the monthly-costdetails export, but it is not clear that this will retrieve backfill data.
