Getting the credentials used by the backup job ?

[albertwt]

Hi People,

I need to know which backup job is using the specific credential listed under the Manage Credentials?
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110

The PowerShell cmdlet below can't show which backup job is using which specific credential.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Albert

Your „powershell below“ link is a list of 10-14 powershell commands. I assume you want to use get-vbrjob?
If yes, you already have example commands in the other two topics you commented or have created.
I‘m not sure if it‘s helpful to use this as a third topic to discuss the same issue or goal. But if the issues/goals are not connected to each other, I‘m looking forward to assist you in this topic too.

Thanks
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

No, the issue is not connected, when I am looking at the cmdlet result below:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | Get-Member
Get-VBRBackup | Get-Member

There are no lines that return or even mentioned the service account in use.

or am I looking in the wrong direction to get the currently active service account in use?

Hi Albert

Thanks.
There seemed to be a misunderstanding on my side. I though it's about encryption key.
Let me check if we have a cmdlet.
One question. Do you have configured the credentials on a job level, or do you use Indvidual credentials per vm?

Thanks
Fabian

@Mildur,

The credentials is set at the job level.

Hi,

Try this code:

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name 'Backup Job 1'
$vssOptions = Get-VBRJobVSSOptions -Job $job
if ($vssOptions.WinCredsId) {
 Get-VBRCredentials | where {$_.Id -eq $vssOptions.WinCredsId}
}
elseif ($vssOptions.LinCredsId) {
Get-VBRCredentials | where {$_.Id -eq $vssOptions.LinCredsId}
}

Thanks,
Oleg
