Powershell command to get File Share backup session

[stevenfoo]

Hi,

1) We would like to know which command actually provide us with the session of the File Share backup?
There is only Get-VBRNASBackupJob. There is nothing like Get-VBRNASBackupJobSession.

2) For the VBRJobType below is the list, how about NAS?
Backup
BackupSync
BackupToTape
ConfigurationBackup
EndpointBackup
FileToTape

Hi Steven,

Does Get-VBRNASBackupFLRSession solve your issue?

Thanks!

Nope it does not work. It is for listing the restore session.

Steven,

Sorry, my bad. Did you try the methods from this thread?

Thanks!

Thank you for the tips. I managed to get the wording NASBackup which I wanted that is missing from the Veeam documentation.

I am not sure how to get that it.

Anyway is there a way we can list out all the JobType using powershell?

Backup
BackupSync
BackupToTape
ConfigurationBackup
EndpointBackup
FileToTape
NASBackup
Tape* (all those start with Tape*)

Hi Steven,

Job types are kept in Veeam.Backup.Model.EDbJobType enum. So to list all of them you would need to invoke the following method:

Code: Select all

[Veeam.Backup.Model.EDbJobType].GetEnumValues()

Also, a small hint - if you want to know what is the type and location of a property, you can just invoke GetType().FullName on it.
For instance, like this I would research the location of JobType property in session object:

Code: Select all

$session = Get-VBRBackupSession -Name 'NAS Backup Job' | select -Last 1
$session.JobType.GetType().FullName

As for a separate cmdlet for NAS Backup sessions, we also felt the need for this one due to the progress info, which is peculiar to NAS.
So, we are planning to implement it in vNext.

Thanks,
Oleg
