Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell

Post by s.strub »

Hello Shestakov,
Thanks for the fast response, we use Backup & Replication 9.0.
We need to know if the (a specific) Backup to Tape Job successful was. And we need pretty much all the information on this picture:
Image
The different jobs which get backup, how long they had and how big they were and how much got transferred.

Regards
Seraphim

If you have Veeam ONE, I would choose Backup Job Historical Information report. Otherwise, try scripts provided above in the thread.
Thanks!

I tried this: https://github.com/tdewin/powershell/tr ... imicReport but I can't use it with Backup to Tape Jobs, normal Backup Jobs work but I need it for Tape Jobs.

There is a Get-VBRSession cmdlets returning tape sessions. You can play with it and objects it returns and see how far you can get it with your task. Thanks.

We just did an upgrade to 2016 and VBR 9.5U1. When I run the script now, I get;

Code: Select all

Access issue was fixed by running as administrator.

I am running this script against a "Backup Copy" job. The report is retuned with no information inside of it. It is just blank with the server and Veeam version info. Is there something that needs to be changed to report on a backup copy job?

You can scratch my past couple of posts. It was an issue with a name change. I changed the name of the job and the report was running blank, until I had a session of the job complete.

I was about to suggest the same: check whether the script is executed under admin account and see whether job with the provided name exists. Glad to hear, though, that you've figured it out all by yourself. :)

Re: [MERGED] automatic tape session report or powershell

The Veeam Support asked if I could open a Feature Request for the Problem I have, so here it is:
The Subject says it already, I'm searching a function (e.g.: a powershell command) to create a Tape Session Report in Veeam, like clicking this Button:
Image
The Button creates a HTML document with all reports, which is not necessary but nice to have.
If you need any further information please let me know.

Hello,

Like Seraphim, i would know if it possible to have the html report created when we click the backup job button "report" but automatically, and not for tapes but for Oracle redo logs jobs or SQL logs job...
the powershell command Get-VBRJob -Name "JOBNAME Oracle Redo Log Backup" return nothing ..
As we can't snmp-monitor this secondary jobs, i would know if it would be possible to get an html file with script instead of the email ...

Thanks!

Hi @jnap,

Get-VBRJob doesn't retrieve such jobs by design, but you can still retrieve them using .NET methods:

Code: Select all

$sqlType = [Veeam.Backup.Model.EDbJobType]::SqlLogBackup
$oracleType = [Veeam.Backup.Model.EDbJobType]::OracleLogBackup
$sqlJob = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupJob]::GetByType($sqlType)
$oracleJob = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupJob]::GetByType($oracleType) 
Thanks,
Oleg
