Move Tapes Script as Post Script

Post by Aerospace »

Hello,

i have a script which move all Tapes from my Temp Pool in the Free Pool.
But as Post Script this Script does not work, only manuelly.

In the Log the Script was success

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapIn

$jobName = "Backup2Tape - Täglich"

$job = Get-VBRTapeJob | where {$_.Name -eq "$jobName"}

if ($job.LastResult -eq "Success")
 {
$tape = Get-VBRTapeMedium -MediaPool "Täglich Temp"
Move-VBRTapeMedium -Medium $tape -MediaPool "Free" -Confirm:$false
 }

Hi,

Please try wrapping a .bat file around your .ps1 script and see if calling .bat instead of .ps1 will do the job.

Thank you.

Are you positive you were using the same account in both cases? I mean doesn't Veeam service account lack required permissions by any chance? Thanks.

this works fine

1. Change the Backup Job to run a batch file instead of the powershell directly, e.g. "E:\Batches\TestBatchFile.bat"
2. Inside the batch file, use the "start" command to launch the powershell, e.g. Start powershell.exe -Noninteractive -File E:\Batches\TestPowershell.ps1
3. Inside the Powershell, pause the script for 60 seconds e.g. Start-Sleep -s 60
