New VEEAM backup job script

Post by arun.kr »

Hello ,

I have to create some veeam backup jobs and I am using below script:

Code: Select all

$csv = import-csv "C:\temp\AssessMed.csv"
$entity = Get-VBRServer -Name "vcenter.local"
$repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut

foreach ($line in $csv) {

Add-VBRViBackupJob -Name $line.name -Description $line.Description -BackupRepository $repo -Entity ($Entity | Find-VBRViEntity -name $csv.Entity)

}
My csv file looks like

JobName,Entity,Description
ASMD_PROD_VM1,VM1,'Domain Controller'
ASMD_PROD_VM1,VM2,'Terminal Server 4'

everything works fine except the script adds all VMs in both jobs. While I want job1 will have only object that is VM1 and job2 will have VM2 to process.

Thanks
Arun

While adding VMs to backup jobs, you're using $csv variable instead of $line; this must be the reason.

Code: Select all

Add-VBRViBackupJob -Name $line.name -Description $line.Description -BackupRepository $repo -Entity ($Entity | Find-VBRViEntity -name $csv.Entity)
Try the following example:

Code: Select all

Add-VBRViBackupJob -Name $line.name -Description $line.Description -BackupRepository $repo -Entity ($Entity | Find-VBRViEntity -name $line.Entity)
Thanks.

Can you elaborate on your request? You want to backup specific VMs, but make backup jobs exclude several virtual disks from processing? Thanks!
