Get-VBRBackup returns nothing (community edition)

Post by tx.fz »

I have a number of VeeamZIP jobs listed in my VBR console under Backups - Disk, however none of these are listed using Get-VBRBackup. I am however able to remove them using Remove-VBRBackup, providing the exact name. Is this the intended behaviour?

I think you can try:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
[Veeam.backup.Core.cbackup]::GetAll() | where {$_.JobTargetType -eq "Veeamzip"}

That still seems to return a lot of jobs that's since been deleted. (ie not listed in the console) I will see if I can't filter it down further, though, and maybe take a look at the other methods in that class. Thanks for the pointer!

It will return all backups of that type that exist in the database. Those details are not purged when the backup itself is deleted.

Hope that helps to explain why.
