Get-VBRJob getlaststate method

[pizzim13]

Are there states other than "Working" and Stopped" for a backup job when using Get-VBRJob's getlaststate method?

[ThomasMc]

Starting->Working->Stopping->Stopped is the ones I've seen

[pizzim13]

I am looking for the ones you don't normally see (if they even exist). There could have been an "Initializing" state that came and went before you ran get-vbrjob or there could be a set of errors states.

I kicked off the job from powershell and right after that stuck it in a loop

Code: Select all

$a = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.Name -eq "JobName" }

do {
	Add-Content "c:\output.txt" $a.GetLastState()
} while ( $a.GetLastState() -ne "Stopped" )

if there are any more then they must be hard to catch as you can see by my state.txt

As always Peter

Code: Select all

public enum EState
    {
      Stopped = -1,
      Starting = 3,
      Stopping = 4,
      Working = 5,
      Pausing = 6,
      Resuming = 7,
    }

So are you going to tell us how to pause the jobs then

Needless to say I am surprised myself

Probably placed in there for possibilities, but pausing would just be all sorts of bad with snapshots
