Veeam Powershell Service Accounts

Post by teltrop »

Hello everyone,

my question is how to determind which of your Service Accounts / Windows Accounts in general are responsible for executing specific task / service. I know I can get the all my Service Accounts with Get-VBRCredentials but how do I determind which is responsible for which Backup Jobs / Tape Jobs / Copy Jobs / Backup Proxys / Tape and Backup Server in general ?

I already found out which account is responsible for executing my SQL Database with the following code:

Code: Select all

$SQLVersion = (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server').InstalledInstances

$SQLAgent = (Get-WmiObject Win32_service | Where-Object {$_.name -like "*SQLAgent*"} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty startname)

$SQLInfo = $SQLVersion + " - service performed by " + $SQLAgent

Write-Host $SQLInfo
Am I on the right track with my SQL attempt or is it completly off?

Thanks in advance for every response

Check Windows services (ones that start with Veeam prefix). The description provided there explains it all. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

Your suggestion helped alot to find the information I wanted.

My question now is the VeeamBackupSvc also responsible for the Tape Jobs and Copy Jobs?

Don't have a console at hand, but there should be a service named Veeam Tape Service (if I remember correctly). Look for it on a server that runs tape server role. Thanks!
