i was using cmd: Get-VBRTapeJob which you to get Tape job name since version 8 it does not work.

can any one assist me?

getting below error:
+ Get-VBRTapeJob | where {$_.name -eq "Tape Job - Weekly"}| Enable-VBRJob
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-VBRTapeJob], ArgumentNullException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentNullException,Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Cmdlets.GetVBRTapeJob

thanks

Hi, Ricky,

I've just checked and this example seems to have worked in my case:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRTapeJob -Name "Name of your tape job" | Enable-VBRJob
Thanks.

Hello guys,

Not sure if anyone else has seen any issues with this cmdlet but I'm also getting an error message while trying to use get-vbrtapejob in version 8. I'm new to VBR Powershell but I believe this simple command should work just like get-vbrjob.

PS C:\scripts\vbr> get-vbrjob

Job Name Type State Last Result Description
-------- ---- ----- ----------- -----------
Prod Backup for Utilit... VMware Backup Stopped Success Created by SMC-AD\rlc at 10/16/2014 12:20:34 PM.
Prod Backup for Tier 1... VMware Backup Stopped Success Created by SMC-AD\rlc at 9/26/2014 4:22:11 PM.


PS C:\scripts\vbr> get-vbrtapejob
Get-VBRTapeJob : Value cannot be null.

+ get-vbrtapejob <<<<
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-VBRTapeJob], ArgumentNullException

PS C:\scripts\vbr>


Thanks

I too have experienced this issue since upgrading to v8.

Upon investigation I have found the following behaviour:

Fails:
Get-VBRTapeJob | where {$_.name -eq "Name of your tape job"}| Enable-VBRJob

Works ok:
Get-VBRTapeJob -Name "Name of your tape job" | Enable-VBRJob

Unfortunately this means that using a wildcard job name doesn't work anymore

Have you tried using wildcard characters in -Name parameter (especially *)?

Also, I'm wondering whether your issue is exactly the same as the one described by previous author. Did you get "Value cannot be null" error while trying to use where portion? Thanks.

That is correct. If I use the where function I get the "ArgumentNullException" regardless of whether I use the -eq or -like operator.

As I'm currently out of the office, I've passed this information to dev team. Let's wait and see whether they'll be able to confirm that. Thanks.
