All available restore points in Offsite Backup Copy Job

Post by ober72 »

Hi Folks,

Forgive me if this has been brought up but I did not seem to find exactly what I am looking for. Basically I want to be able to to see a list of all the restore points (with dates) available for all of my servers in offsite Backup copy jobs. Some of my locations don't have great bandwidth and I want to know how far behind they are.

Thanks

Hi Geoff,
Besides powershell scripts.
you can use such predefined Veeam ONE reports as VMs with no Archive Copy and Backup Copy Job.
Thanks!

Hi Nikita,

Yes thanks if I could I would love to have those on all the servers but there are cost implications unfortunately for clients since if I am correct Veeam ONe monitoring data protection needs the full licence so I am trying the next best thing :)

That`s correct. Veeam ONE does require license. But once you have it, you can use the reports through web interface from every server.
Let`s see if powershell gurus can offer an analog script.

The following one-liner lists all backups created by backup copy jobs along with job names and several dates. Take a look and see whether you need something more comprehensive:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
Get-VBRBackup | where {$_.JobType -eq "BackupSync"} | select name, JobName, CreationTime, LastPointCreationTime
Thanks.

You're welcome as always, Geoff. The best documentation regarding out PowerShell snap-in is this one.

And, of course, no one denies trial and error approach with the use of my favorite commandlets: Get-Help, Get-Command and Get-Member.

Thanks.
