Error [Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBManager] not found

[FabrizioA]

Hi,

I created a script to retrieve the "current/last" backup status of a VM within veeam jobs.
In this script I've used the "[Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBManager]" class that has the function of displaying all backup sessions with relative details.
If I run the command (which includes the above mentioned class):

Code: Select all

$Sessions= foreach ($bsession in ([Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBManager]::Instance.BackupJobsSessions.GetAll() | Where-Object {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -and $_.EndTime -ge (Get-Date).addhours(-24)}))
    {
        Get-VBRTaskSession ([Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupSession]::Create($bsession, $null))
    }

directly from powershell there is no problem, but if I invoke the same script form Windows CMD prompt by this way:

Code: Select all

c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe  -file C:\Zabbix\veeam\Veeam_VM_Status.ps1 "[VM_NAME]" "[JOB_NAME]"

I get this error:

Code: Select all

The [Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBManager] type could not be found. Verify that "the assembly" containing this type is loaded.

In C:\Zabbix\veeam\Veeam_VM_Status.ps1:45 car:73
+    $Sessions= foreach ($bsession in ([Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBManager] <<<<
 ::Instance.BackupJobsSessions.GetAll() | Where-Object {$_.JobType -eq "Backup"
 -and $_.EndTime -ge (Get-Date).addhours(-24)}))
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBMan
   ager:String) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound

Where can I find or how can I put the assembly not found" and solve the problem? Any suggestions?

Thank you
F.

Did you load the snapin in your script?

Anyway using this technique of calling dotnet classes directly is not a recommended approach. It might be break your code even between updates. In this case it is highly recommended to use the appropriate cmdlets like get-vbrbackupsession and get-vbrtasksession:
