List VMs in a backup session

Post by l.vinokur »

Hi,

I have isolated a given backup session in a variable. The job consists of several folders, so checking its "objects" is useless - they are folders.
I need to extract a list of VMs that were processed and their state - was the backup successful, etc.

Thanks!

Hi Leonid,

If I got your question correctly (I hope so) then this EM functionality could help. Also, that thread sheds some light on other options.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks.

Individual objects (VMs) should be present in task session which can be returned using the following approach:

Code: Select all

$Session.GetTaskSessions()
Thanks.

Thanks Fedor, we don't have EM and the other post you've referenced actually revealed the same method that was demonstrated by Vladimir.

Best,

The whole script might look like the following:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your Job"
$Session = $Job.FindLastSession()
$Session | Get-VBRTaskSession  | select name, status
Should other help with scripting be needed, kindly, reach us.

Thanks!
