Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi,
Does anyone here have a ready to use powershell script that can be scheduled to run a configuration backup of Veeam?
I then want to run it two times a day, each time targeting different storage location.
anyone?
Regards,
Jóhannes

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
You can run it with this code for each run, with examples for morning & evening, you will just need to adjust the first line to set each run to the appropriate repository.
Morning, 8AM example:
Evening, 8PM example:
Morning, 8AM example:
Code: Select all
$Repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name '%reponame%'
$morningoptions = New-VBRDailyOptions -Type Everyday -Period 8:00
$morningschedule = New-VBRConfigurationBackupScheduleOptions -Type Daily -DailyOptions $morningoptions
Set-VBRConfigurationBackupJob -Repository $Repo --ScheduleOptions $morningschedule
Start-VBRConfigurationBackupJob
Code: Select all
$Repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name '%reponame%'
$eveningoptions = New-VBRDailyOptions -Type Everyday -Period 20:00
$eveningschedule = New-VBRConfigurationBackupScheduleOptions -Type Daily -DailyOptions $eveningoptions
Set-VBRConfigurationBackupJob -Repository $Repo --ScheduleOptions $morningschedule
Start-VBRConfigurationBackupJob

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
You can change these via the built-in commands for configuration backup. You can then use Windows Task Manager to create a task to run the script when needed. Most likely it will be easier to create 2 separate scripts instead of 1 big script.

Need Powershell script for configuration backup in veeam 9.5 GA
Hello,
I am going to uninstall veeam 9.5 and install the veeam 10 in the same server. Before going to uninstall the veeam 9.5, I need to take the configuration full backup and once after I complete the new installation of veeam 10. I have to restore the configuration backup in veeam 10.
So I need powershell script which take the configuration full backup in veeam 9.5.
Does anyone here have a ready to use powershell script that can be scheduled to run a configuration backup of Veeam 9.5 GA?
If anyone has please kindly share it here.
Thanks in advance.

leo.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Leo,
Veeam provides PowerShell cmdlets to do that. The Start-VBRConfigurationBackupJob cmdlet is what you're looking for. It will kick off a configuration backup.
With that said, you won't be able to restore a configuration backup generated with v9.5 GA in v10. Per Veeam documentation, you must be running version 9.5 Update 3 or later. As such, you'll need to upgrade your current instance before proceeding.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
If it would be better I can post this as a seperate post, but since this was here, I thought I would try this first.
How do the config backups work in terms of rollups? My boss keeps 30 days of configs and wants me to ship them off to azure. So Ill be removing the 30th and then adding in the new one with my script. Is it ok to just remove and add or is there some kind of rollup involved that I need to take into account?

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Joe Houghes,
Good Day!
We also had a similar requirement for the config backup and we thought your script was just perfect for our needs.
But there is just onething which isn't working properly.
When we manually run the script it works like a charm but when the script is executed via the Task Scheduler, the config backup is always backed up to a single repository.
May I know if we are missing something here?
Thanks in advance!

Karthik

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
The sample code I gave was meant to have the repository name set for each run of the script.
Did you set the name correctly?

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Joe,
Yes. As I mentioned, it runs fine if I run the script manually. But if it runs via the Task scheduler, the repository doesn't changes.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Joe,
It is resolved. I used the Clear-Variable in the script to delete the value of $Repo in both the script. Now it is running fine as expected.
Many thanks.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi chris
@chris.arceneaux
Thanks your reply. Its very useful.
I have one more query.
Veeam Case # 04777946
While I am trying to create Veeam backup job through powershell, Veeam backup get created for most of the products. For few products I am getting the below error. We have never faced this before. We have raised a ticket in veeam support. We have no clue.
--Cannot validate argument on parameter "entity" the argument is null provide a valid value for the argument and try running the command again--
When I am try to debug it, I have found one more thing like - the term 'Find-VBRViEntity' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet. Not sure whether 'Find-VBRViEntity' cmdlet is deprecated or retired. I have proceed all the veeam module before I proceed these comments.
I am just struck.
Kindly help me to solve this issue. Looking forward for the replies.
Thanks in advance

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Leo,
I have deleted 5 of identical posts of yours - please don't post same message in different threads.
As for your questions:
- Find-VBRVIEntity is present. If your machine does not find Veeam commandlets, make sure Veeam PowerShell Snapin(pre-v11) or Module(v11 onwards) is present.
- error you are receiving is a common null-value operation. Meaning your variable contains $null(aka has nothing).
/Thanks!

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Well if Get-VBRCommand returns nothing, means you don't have Veeam PowerShell up on your machine that executes that script.
Which VBR version you are running?
Also check what is returned by $Entity = Find-VBRViEntity -VMsAndTemplates -name *vCenter*.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Egor,
Thanks for your response.
We are using Veeam backup and replication 10.
I have executed it ($Entity = Find-VBRViEntity -VMsAndTemplates -name *vCenter*).
Command ran successfully but I am not getting any output and also I am not getting any error. After that I have ran "$Entity". I am getting the same result (No error and No output) there as well.
Regards
leo

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
"$Entity = Find-VBRViEntity -VMsAndTemplates -name *vCenter*" searches for machines with vCenter in them...it seems you don't have those in your environment? So it returns $null, and $Entity is $null, so next cmdlet to create a job for $null fails.
You can double check it in VBR console > Inventory > select added vCenter server > in search type "vCenter". That will list all machines with vCenter in name.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Just before your error message, it will give you a line # and character #, along with the text of the line in your script that is causing the error. We need to know that to be able to assist with anything, as this is just basic PowerShell troubleshooting at this point.
Running the command that Egor provided and getting no output just means that you do not have a VM or template within your vSphere environment which contains 'vCenter' in the name.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Egor & Jhoughes,
Thanks a lot.. Yes you both are right. Its searching for "vCenter" virtual machine in the vCenter. If its not there its not proceed futher.
Special thanks to "Egor" for checking this issue from the beginning and found the issue.
Actually this script has to create backup job for vCenter and other management servers as well (*ISEEDC1*","*ISEEBDC2*","*THYDE1*") as well when I am selecting number 8. This is the expectation.
But its failing in the first level itself hence vCenter VM is missing.
I need one last help from you experts, If the VCenter virtual machine is not present in the vCenter, It has to check for other management servers (*ISEEDC1*","*ISEEBDC2*","*THYDE1*") and It have to create backup job for other servers.
Can you please do me one last favour to change the logic. I have no idea how to change the logic.
I am looking forward to hear from you experts.
Thanks in advance.

Leo.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Hi Leo,
If no -Server parameter passed to Find-VBRViEntity, it searches for the conditions you provided in all the relevant hosts you have as managed by VBR. For instance, if you have 2 vCenters and 1 standalone ESXi added to VBR console, Find-VBRViEntity -Name 'vCenter*' -VMsAndTemplates query will try to find the vm/template with such name in all of them. If the output is empty in this case, that means no vm was found across all the managed vCenters/ESXis.
Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Experts,
I am facing one more issue from my above script. I am getting the below error in last of the script.
--Cannot validate argument on parameter "Job" the argument is null provide a valid value for the argument and try running the command again-
Below I have posted that problematic block.

Add-VBRViJobObject -Job $Job -Entities $Entity
}

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Likewise, "$Job = Get-VBRJob -name $BackupJobName" returns $null.
Meaning you don't have a VBR job with name kept in $BackupJobName variable.

Re: Powershell script for configuration backup
Leo,
Please use </> option for wrapping your script in code tags when previewing a post so that it could be easier to read and copy the code you want to share. What Egor means is that Get-VBRJob couldn't find jobs with name "<$ISEESiteID_value>_MGT_VMS". It might be worth checking the job name and applying another condition/search pattern.
Thanks,
Oleg
