Encryption enabled notification?

[remi.minnebo]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a new Backup job report that includes if encryption is enabled.
We've had issues with encryption being disabled in the past while we thought we'd enabled it.

How can I query this option via powershell and make it appear in the report that's being sent whenever the backup job succeds or fails?

Thanks a bunch!

I know that the type 'VBREncryptionOptions' will give me a boolean value that reflects the 'Encryption enabled' checkbox in advanced options.

So how do I select a job and query this VBREncryptionOptions via powershell, and add this to the notification mail after the job succeeds/fails.

I've figured out how to query the StorageEncryptionEnabled type:

$JobName= "*Copy to External Disk"

$Job = Get-VBRJob -name $JobName
$Options = $Job.GetOptions()
$Options.BackupStorageOptions.StorageEncryptionEnabled


Now all I have to figure out is how to add this to the email notification.

You can just make your own email message via send-mailmessage:

eg

Code: Select all

asnp veeampssnapin

$jobs = get-vbrjob
$report = @()
foreach($job in $jobs) {
    $opt = $job.getoptions()
    $report += New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property @{Name=$job.Name;"Encryption Enabled"=$opt.BackupStorageOptions.StorageEncryptionEnabled}
}
$html = ($report | ConvertTo-Html ) -join "`r`n"

Send-MailMessage -From "info@veeambackup.com" -to "user@veeambackup.com" -SmtpServer 192.168.1.14 -subject "Encryption Report" -Body $html -BodyAsHtml

you could schedule it as as a task via the windows scheduler so it sends you one report every day

Great! That works like a charm.
