Get current state of "Rescan repository"

Post by edirschedl »

Hi,

is it possible to get the current status of a "Rescan repository" task, initiated with help of Sync-VBRBackupRepository? How can I do that with Powershell?
I want to automate a regular rescan of specific repositories and I want to know, if this task was successful.


Thank you,

Emanuel

Not really supported I guess but you can do this. Capture the session, then refind the session to get an updated view

Code: Select all

$sess = Get-VBRBackupRepository -name "Default Backup Repository" | Sync-VBRBackupRepository
while ($sess.State -in @("Working","Starting")) { $sess = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBaseSession]::Get($sess.Id);start-sleep -seconds 1 }
write-host $sess.Result

I think you can achieve same result using -Wait option (new?) in Rescan-VBREntity command

Code: Select all

$Repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "veeamrepo" 
$sess = Rescan-VBREntity -Entity $Repository -Wait
write-host $sess.Result
