Feature request: export all job settings of all jobs

Post by christian.naenny »

Hello everyone

Another feature request...
It would be nice if it was possible to export all the job settings of all the jobs into a file (CSV, XML or JSON) right from the Jobs list.
This could be helpful for quality checking purposes, e.g. "do all the jobs have the same long term retention policy?".

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian

Thanks for your request.
Veeam One can already export a report with allmost all job settings:

It also gives you the capability to monitor/audit changes within a job:

Without VeeamOne, you could use powershell to export such information. There are some examples available in our forum.

Thanks

Hi Fabian
Thanks for the hints. We're not using VeeamONE (yet).
But I already thought that using PowerShell I should be able to export all the job settings in an overview.
Best regards,
Christian

Hello Christian,
Veeam ONE is one option; a second one could be using the VBR API, which can export to JSON without any problem: I have used this option a few times to clone jobs and to what you just mentioned, compare settings across different JSON files, etc.

It is an interesting FR for sure, as other veeam products web-based have it already, like VB Azure, VB AWS, etc.

Give the API a try and let us know :)
