Waiting for sync-vbrrepository

Post by tdewin »

Hi,

It seems that sync-vbrrepository is an async call. Anyway to wait for it? I tried

Code: Select all

PS V:\scripts> $operation = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Backup Repository 8" | Sync-VBRBackupRepository;while ($operation.isWorking) { write-host "..."}
I don't know how I can update $operation to reflect changes. With backup jobs there is get-vbrtasksession but it doesn't work with this one

What about using the following example?

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Name of repository" | Rescan-VBREntity -Wait
Thanks.

You're welcome. -Wait switch is designed specifically for the described use case, so, feel free to leverage it.

Just tagging onto this... is it possible to retrieve the date/time that the repository was last synced?

As far as I'm concerned, it's not possible to get this information via PS. Thanks.

Is this information stored somewhere ? Log or database perhaps?

Most likely, this information is present inside the product database. Thanks.
