Veeam Configuration Backup last run time

Post by meelisn »

There is date in GUI. How can I get the same info with PowerShell?

Get-VBRConfigurationBackupJob gives me LastResult and LastState, but not the date last backup was performed.

Hi Meelis,

Currently, there is no supported way to do that.
However, with .NET methods you could try the following:

Code: Select all

$jobType = [Veeam.Backup.Model.EDbJobType]::ConfBackup
$configBackup = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBaseSession]::FindLastByJobType($jobType)
It should give you the last run time.

Thanks,
Oleg

Using .NET is OK, unsupported is not. When will there be supported way to get such kind of information?

Unsupported means that we cannot guarantee that the very same approach will work with the next product versions.

As to your question, currently we cannot provide any ETA.

Thanks!

This .NET method returns the last configuration backup attempt.
Is there a way to get the last successfull configuration backup, as we can see in the VBR console.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Yes, if what Get-VBRConfigurationBackupJob shows is not quite it, there is a way through .NET classes:

Code: Select all

$configJob = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CConfigurationBackupJob]::Find()
$configBackupSession = $configJob.FindLastSessionByResults('Success') 
Thanks,
Oleg

Great, it's perfect !

Is there a online help for all existing .NET classes ?

There isn’t any official documentation on .NET classes as they are not supported. But you can consider this forum an online help for such corner cases. Thanks!
