Storage-Level Corruption Guard - PS Variable

[chris.childerhose]

I have checked the new V9 Powershell reference guide but the Advanced Settings > Maintenance variables don't seem to be showing. What are the variables for the Corruption Guard and Backup File Maintenance?

Might help to have a Sticky that shows these new variables until the User Guide is updated.

Most of these setting can be found under Options.GenerationPolicy

Code: Select all

$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your Job"
$Options = $Job.getoptions()
$Options.GenerationPolicy

More specifically,

Code: Select all

EnableCompactFull                       
CompactFullBackupScheduleKind           
CompactFullBackupDays                   
CompactFullBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions 
EnableRechek                            
RecheckScheduleKind                     
RecheckDays                             
RecheckBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions

Thanks.

Thanks. I set a job to run the Health Check and then used the script to check the settings but don't see this option set in the ones you listed. I changed the default setting to Second Monday of the month but showing the settings of this job does not show this setting variable.

So, what does $Options.GenerationPolicy.RecheckBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions show in your case? Thanks.

Ah perfect, so this thread gave me the start I needed.

I wanted to enable storage guard on all of my backup jobs, and distribute it over the entire month, so I wrote the below. This enables enable storage-guard for every backup job and set it to run over a monthly period.

Code: Select all

# Create all backup copy jobs and set them up as necessary.
if ((Get-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {add-pssnapin VeeamPSSnapin}

$days=@("Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday")
$weeks=@("First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth", "Last")

$d=0
$w=0

$jobs=get-vbrjob | ? {$_.JobType -eq "Backup"} | sort Name
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
  write-host $job.Name $days[$d] $weeks[$w]

  $Options=$job.getoptions()
  $Options.GenerationPolicy.RecheckScheduleKind = "Monthly"
  $Options.GenerationPolicy.RecheckBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions.DayOfWeek = $days[$d]
  $Options.GenerationPolicy.RecheckBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions.DayNumberInMonth = $weeks[$w]
  $Options.GenerationPolicy.EnableRechek = $true
  $job.SetOptions($Options) | out-null
  
  $d++
  if ($d -ge $days.count) { $d = 0 ; $w++ }
  if ($w -ge $weeks.count) { $w = 0 }
}

Thanks for sharing the resulting code. Just be aware that sometimes the fourth week will coincide with the last, so, you will get two jobs running corruption guard at the same day. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Please, help me to find a solution to enable "Perform backup files health check" option using PowerShell.
I want to run it on Monthly basis.

Check the answers provided above, and ask for additional help, should it be needed. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to set the Veeam Bckup Job Storage-level corruption guard health checkbox and schedule, as found in Storage---> Advanced Settings-----> Maintenance tab. For example, I might want the backup health checks to be performed for a particular job Monthly on the Last Friday. For the life of me I can't find the powershell options to do it. I thought it would be something like:

Code: Select all

Set-VBRJobAdvancedOptions -Job $jobname -EnableIntegrityChecks $True

But I can't see how to set the schedule, and if I run the command above it runs without error but doesn't tick the health checkbox and use the existing default schedule. Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.
