Get-VBRJobObject not returning all objects

Post by alliance1 »

I have a script which gets a list of all machines in all backup jobs. The script works well, except for the fact that some machines are inexplicably missing from the output.

I tested this by running Get-VBRJobObject -Job "myjob" and confirming that several machines are missing that do exist in the job via the Backup and Replication console. I'm using Powershell v4 on WinServer 2012 R2 and Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5.0.711.

Could this be a bug?

I've never seen this issue before. Can you tell whether those machines are not excluded from processing? What is selected as job source? Individual VMs or container such as folder, resource pool, etc.? Thanks.

They are not excluded from processing, the console shows that they've been backed up successfully.

How do I check the job source? The jobs back up individual VMs.

Edit job -> Virtual Machines -> Virtual Machines to backup.

Ok, yes individual VMs are the job source.

What happens if you get job objects a bit differently?

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPssnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Name of your backup job"
$Job.GetObjectsInJob() 
Will the said entities still be missing?

Thanks.

Quite strange, indeed. The last method gets information directly from db by querying it. So, the problem doesn't seem to be PS-specific.

This is a query that the said method utilizes. I couldn't imagine that something is wrong with it:

Code: Select all

SELECT oijs.* FROM [dbo].[ObjectsInJobsView] oijs WHERE   oijs.[job_id] = @row_job_id ORDER BY order_no ASC;
You can run it yourself or preferably let support team do that, check the results of its execution, and investigate why there is a discrepancy between two values, if the given query also returns wrong data.

Thanks.
