Script to export job details

[RANR]

I had some scripts that worked in Veeam 7 that compiled all of the information from our backup jobs into a single .htm file.

Unfortunately, none of those scripts seem to work now in Veeam 8. Does anyone have a script they could send me that works in 8? What I'd like is a detailed list of all of our jobs and how long it took each job to backup, over the course of a week.

Thanks

By saying that script doesn't work you mean it lists nothing or throws errors? Can you provide a script itself, so that we can take a look at it?

Thanks for your response.

This script used to work, now it just creates a blank HTML page. I did notc reate the script, I know nothing about Powershell, I found it on a forum. It used to work but no longer seems to work in Veeam 8.

Code: Select all

$style = @"

TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 2px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:lightblue}

Did you execute this script manually or via Windows Scheduler, for instance? Can you try to run it under administrator account?

By the way, I've just run it in my lab, and it's worked without any issues creating a corresponding htm file that contains required information.

Thanks.
