Problem with Start-VBRJob

[Wieland]

I'm using the CLI for starting Backupjobs. But on some machines I get the following error:

Start-VBRJob : Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.
At line:1 char:57
+ Get-VBRJob | where {$_.name -eq "EMEAW6"} | Start-VBRJob <<<<
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Veeam.Backup.Po...and.StartVBRJo:StartVBRJob) [Start-VBRJob], Overfl owException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :Backup,Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Command.StartVBRJob

The syntax I use is (EMEAW6 is the servername):

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | where {$_.name -eq "EMEAW6"} | Start-VBRJob

However, the Backup is running in the veeam console and finishs successfull.

Thank you for your help,

Hi Sebastian, this issue was reported before, and it is fixed in the next update.
For now, as a workaround please use Start-VBRJob with -runasync key.

Hi, I have the same issue, but i must wait the end of the veeam backup to start other jobs (backup to a LTO) in my cmd script. How can i do that ?

[Wieland]

I've wrote a little workaround for me:

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapIn
$server = "EMEAW6";
$job = Get-VBRJob | where {$_.name -eq $server};
$check = Start-VBRJob $job -runasync;
$job_id= $check.id;
While ($check.State -ne "Stopped")
{
$check=Get-VBRBackupSession | where {$_.id -eq $job_id };
Start-Sleep -s 10;
}
$result=Get-VBRBackupSession | where {$_.id -eq $job_id };
echo $result;

The script starts the job and waits until the job has the status "Stopped". The output is the same than without the runasync parameter

Bonjour !

It just run fine, but what is the meaning of "-runasync" and where can i find the manual of the VBR powershell commands ?

[Gostev]

-runasync means that PowerShell script execution will continue without waiting for job to finish first.
Manual of PowerShell cmdlets is built-in directly into snap-in, this is described in the User Guide.

When i run this script, i have this error :
11/24/2010 03:33:43 1 0 5000 .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting N/A HDV-SAUVEGARDE EventType clr20r3, P1 powershell.exe, P2 6.0.6002.18111, P3 4acfb18c, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4889dc80, P7 f4f, P8 7, P9 n3ctrye2kn3c34sgl4zqyrbfte4m13nb, P10 NIL.

Bur everything is OK...

Hello Olivier,

This is a Microsoft-related issue, something is wrong with powershell itself / mscorlib.
I found some information using google search http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/asp ... troke.aspx
