How to find Agent SQL transaction log backup job results

Post by Henrik.Grevelund »

Hi There,

Have anyone figured out how to get the agent SQL transaction log backup job results(with powershell) ?

I would like to know the result of each backup interval.
Have nice day,
Henrik

Hi Henrik,

Job objects have a method FindChildJobs() and a few other FindChild* methods.

FindChildSQLBackupJobs() should be what you need to get a Job id that you can pass to the various Get-*session cmdlets and I believe it will work!

Hi Harvey,

Unfortunally that only works with the get-vbrjob ID's.
It doesn't work with the ID's comming from the Get-VBRComputerBackupJob.

Hi Henrik,

Indeed it is not part of the VbRComputerBackupJob object as a method; even though it's deprecated, until there's built-in functionality for this you can still use Get-VBRJob to retrieve agent jobs, then use:

$jobs.FindChildJobs().FindChildSQLLogBackupJob()

The first method retrieves what I believe is called a "worker" for the job, which is the Parent backup for the SQL log backup. Then you call FindChildSQLLogBackupJob() on the parent job.

That's right.

Yes, because the hierarchy for agent jobs is a bit different:
Parent job - child job (job worker) - transaction logs backup job or else.

Thanks,

Hi Oleg,

Out of curiosity, is that the official hierarchy for agent jobs? (slightly off topic, but just curious)

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100

The user guide for Vmware backups lists the main job as parent and the "child" as the log backups, so I just assumed that the visible agent job had some title higher in the hierarchy. I get agent jobs are different, but should we understand the log backups as grandchildren (children of children) or is this purely semantics?

Hi Harvey,

I'd say it's purely semantics. Child jobs are more relevant to internal logic and separate for each agent. Usually, we are after parent jobs as these are what we see in the UI.

Thanks,
Oleg
